Remember: A free game can still cost money. Ask a grown-up before you buy, and never keep a buy a secret.
Robin, Jo and Blip
Read the story first. Then answer.
Free, and then?Jo told Robin about a game that said Free in big, bright letters. Robin got it, and the first levels were easy and fun. Then a locked gate blocked the path and a timer said to wait. A shiny button said "Pay to skip!" and Blip, a mint blob, winked and said, "Hurry, this sale ends very soon!" Robin waited, laughed at Jo's silly faces, and the gate opened for nothing. Later a mystery box popped up. Robin's tablet had a card saved, so one tap paid, and the box held only a plain sticker. A grown-up's phone went ping. Robin walked into the kitchen and told the grown-up. "Thank you for telling me," said the grown-up. "You are not in trouble. Let's look at the game together."
