What happens fast?

What happens fast is something that changes or moves quickly, almost like a blink of an eye.

When Things Go ZOOM!

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy car on the floor. You push it gently, and it rolls slowly, that's not very fast. But if you give it a big push, it zooms across the room really quickly! That’s what happens fast, things move or change in no time at all.

Think about your eyes closing for just a second when you blink. In that short moment, something can happen fast, like your friend jumping out from behind the couch to surprise you!

So whether it's a toy car zooming or someone surprising you with a big hug, things that happen fast are like a quick, happy dance between what was and what is now!
