The Magic of Hoisting!

Have you ever seen a big, strong crane lifting something heavy? That’s called hoisting! Just like how a superhero lifts a car to save a cat stuck underneath, hoisting helps us move things up high.

Imagine a pirate ship hoisting its sails to catch the wind and sail across the ocean! Or a little kid hoisting a flag on a tall pole during a fun school event. Hoisting is all about lifting things to new heights!

So, next time you see something being lifted, remember the magic of hoisting! What would you like to hoist? A kite? A treasure? The sky's the limit!
