Akkin and Nikku Learn to Cross the Road

One sunny morning, Akkin and little Nikku were going to the park with Mummy.

As they reached the roadside, Nikku saw the park across the street and got excited.

He started to move forward, but Akkin quickly held his hand and said,

“Wait, Nikku! We can’t just run across. We must look and listen first.”

Mummy smiled and explained,

“First, we stand on the footpath. Then we look right, look left, and look right again.

If the road is clear, and the pedestrian signal is green, then we walk—never run—holding hands.”

Akkin held Nikku’s hand tightly. Together they looked both ways, waited for the green signal, and walked safely across the zebra crossing.

At the park, Nikku said,

“Akkin, you saved me from running into danger!”

Akkin laughed,

“We both learned today—safety first!”

Lesson:

1. Always stop at the footpath before crossing.
2. Look right, left, and right again.
3. Cross only when it’s safe or the pedestrian light is green.
4. Hold an elder’s hand if you’re small.
