Dev and the racing game
Read the story first, then answer.
Too many buttonsDev wanted the new racing game that Yuki told him about. He found a page of big, shiny buttons that all said download. Across the top it said, "Totally free, no store needed!" Waffles the hamster hopped on the keyboard, and more buttons popped up, until Dev could not tell which was real. He took his hands off the keys. "Why would a real game skip the store?" he thought. He remembered Aunt Rosa's rule: "Ask a grown-up before you download anything, every time, even if it is free." Aunt Rosa opened the family's app store, which is the official place for games. She checked who made the game, looked at the age label and read the reviews. "This one is fine," she said. Then Dev pressed get, with her beside him.
