                       One day,  Riya  was browsing  the
                       Internet  on  her tablet. She  was           "Congratulations!
                       excited to play her favourite game            You have won a

                       online.    While    exploring     the           free prize!"
                       website, she saw a bright, colourful
                       pop-up message that said,

                                              Riya clicked on the pop-up without thinking because it seemed
                                              fun and exciting. As soon as she clicked, another window opened
                                              asking for her name, address and phone number to claim her
                                              prize.
                                                                                              “Riya, that is a pop-up.

                       happened and said,                                                     personal information.”

                                          Riya  felt worried. "I did
                                          not  know that  pop-ups
                                          could  be  dangerous,"
                                          she said.

                       Rahul explained, “Some links and pop-ups are not trustworthy and can take you to
                       unsafe websites.
                       Riya promised to be more careful in the future and always ask Rahul or her parents
                       before clicking on anything suspicious.

                       3.  What lesson did Riya learn from this experience?
