Pali literature

OK, kiddo! Pali literature is a bunch of stories, songs, and teachings written a long, long time ago.

They were written in a language called Pali, which is very old and was spoken in ancient India.

The stories talk about Buddha and his teachings, which are all about being kind, peaceful, and happy.

There are also some rules for how people should behave, like not hurting others and not stealing things that aren't yours.

These stories can help people to be good and happy, and they are still read and studied by some people today.

So, that's Pali literature in a nutshell, sweetie!
