Story 4: The Helper Who Asks Before Helping
Garden lab — human help and permission day · 8 words one per day · AI Pre-Literacy
1. Story — Text-Based (Day 1-2: Imagination Studio)
Read this with NO pictures first. Child becomes illustrator.
Lina and Omar’s tablet can now sort leaves very well. It wants to help water the plants.
But Lina says, “Wait. You need to make a decision. A decision is choosing what to do.”
Omar says, “You are a helper. A helper is someone who helps humans — not decides alone.”
The tablet shows dry soil. It wants to water. But first it must ask for permission. Permission means asking if okay.
“Is it safe?” asks Lina. Safe means not hurting anyone — not too much water, not on books.
There is a rule. A rule is what we must follow — always ask human before watering.
The tablet will ask. Ask means talking to check — “May I water the basil?”
Lina and Omar have a choice. A choice is picking between options — water now, or later, or not.
They say, “Yes, water now, just a little.” They work together. Together means human and AI working together — human decides, AI helps.
