Explanation
Each worker uses special tools for the job. A builder uses a hammer. A cook uses a frying pan. A doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to the heart. A painter uses a brush. A mechanic uses a wrench to fix cars. The right tool makes the job easier and safer. Children must not play with real tools.
