Capital city

Hey, kiddo! Let me tell you all about capital cities. You know how every country has a special place where the most important people in the country work? Well, that's called the capital city. It's like the brain of the country, where all the big decisions are made.

To understand it easily, imagine that we are playing a game of "country." Each country has a capital city that is the most important place. Just like how in our game, there is a "base" where we keep our toys safe, and we have to protect it at all costs.

In real life, the capital city is where the government officials, the leader of the country, and other important people work. They hold meetings and make decisions on how the country should be run. For instance, if there is a problem in the country like, there is not enough food, the leader will call his important people together, and they will talk about how to help the people who need food.

The capital city is usually the biggest city in the country, and sometimes even the most populated. Just like how we have a special room in our house where we do important things, the capital city is like that special room for a country.

So, in summary, the capital city is like the brain or the base for a country where important people work and make important decisions for the country's well-being.
