What are hades?

Hades are like underground rooms where things can go to rest or hide, just like a toy box under your bed.

Imagine you have a big toy box in your room. When you're done playing, you put all your toys back inside and close the lid. That’s kind of what happens with hades, they are places deep underground where people or things can go to rest or wait until it's time to come back.

Like a Secret Room Under the Floor

Think about your house. You have floors above you, but there might be a basement below. Hades are like that secret basement, but even deeper. It’s not just for toys, sometimes people go there too, to rest or wait until they're ready to come back.

A Place for Rest and Waiting

Hades aren’t just for hiding, they’re also places where you can rest or take a break. If you were tired from playing all day, you might go into the toy box to nap. That's kind of what people do in hades, they rest until it’s time to come back and play again.

So, hades are like secret rooms underground, where things can hide, rest, or wait for their turn to come back. Hades are like underground rooms where things can go to rest or hide, just like a toy box under your bed.
