“Anna, let’s look for it in the dictionary.” He brought a thick book kept nearby, turned its pages, and said, Anna, it means water.”

“Wow, Grandpa! You found it so quickly! What is this book?”

“This is a dictionary!”

But what is it, Grandpa?”

“When you read any book or text, you will find many words you don’t know the meaning of. You can use a dictionary to find the meaning. Finding words in the dictionary is a lot of fun. Do you want to use the dictionary with me, Anna?”

“Yes, Grandpa! Please tell me! And also show me how to look for a word in it.”
