What are leaks?

A leak is when something that should stay inside goes outside without being asked.

Imagine you have a water bottle full of juice, and you're holding it tight, no juice comes out. But if you twist the cap just a little bit, some juice starts to drip down your hand. That’s a leak! It’s like when something sneaks out because there's a small hole or gap.

Think of a leak like a tiny door that opens without anyone telling it to. Maybe you're filling up a pool, and the water starts to flow out around the edge, that’s a leak too! It happens when something is supposed to stay in one place but finds a way to escape.

Leaking can cause problems. If your juice leaks everywhere, it might make your shirt messy. If water leaks from a pipe, it might flood your house. But sometimes, leaks are fun too, like when you let just enough juice out so you can drink it without spilling the whole bottle!
