Okay, so imagine you have a can of vegetable soup. It has soup inside, right? Now imagine a can that has oil inside instead. That's what an oil can is!
Oil is a type of liquid that we use to make things work better. Like when you put oil on a squeaky door hinge to make it stop squeaking. Sometimes we need to put oil in smaller places, like a lock or a bike chain, but we can't just pour it in there because it will be messy and too much will come out. So we use an oil can to make things more precise.
An oil can is like a little bottle with a spout on the end kind of like a tiny teapot. We fill it up with oil and then we can easily pour just a little bit of oil in the right spot, like on a door hinge or a bike chain. This way, we don't accidentally use too much oil and make a big mess. Plus, we don't waste any oil because we only use what we need!
So, that's what an oil can is, a special little bottle that helps us put just enough oil where we need it without getting messy or wasting any.
