Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look, At this word ‘accidents,’ let’s learn it in its nook! The dictionary gives us a helpful guide, A fancy definition, let's step inside. It says “An unexpected event, a surprise you see, With negative consequences – woe is me!” And crucially, it adds with a thoughtful plea: “Without the intention of the one who’s suffering, you agree?” Let’s break that down, nice and slow, 'Unexpected' means it wasn't planned, you know. ‘Negative consequences’ – things that aren’t quite bright, Like a stumble, a scrape, or a disappointing plight. And “without intention” is the key, my dears, It wasn't meant to happen, fueled by no fears! Think of dropping your ice cream cone, it’s true, You didn't want it to fall, that's sadly true. Or a fender bender on the road so wide, A bump and a scrape – where do we hide? So 'accidents' mean things that happen unplanned, Leaving us feeling sad, or perhaps a little tanned! (From a tumble, of course!) 😊 Do you have any questions about this word today? Let’s discuss it together.
