Toys today are really different from the ones kids had in the past. Back then, kids had toys made of wood or metal. They were very simple, allowing Ukaar and Zeish to use their creativity and imagination to play with them. Just one ball in the past could keep 10 or 15 children busy for four hours. But now, toys have been developed, and children have high-tech toys like drones or robots that can talk.
