**sim-id:** three-legged-stool<br/>
**Library:** AI Image Generator<br/>
**Status:** Specified

**Purpose:** Make the chapter's stool metaphor visual and memorable, so students remember that opportunities, responsibilities, and rights always travel together.

**Image prompt:**

A simple, friendly wooden three-legged stool, drawn in a flat cartoon style and shown from a slight three-quarter angle so all three legs are clearly visible. The stool's seat is a warm honey-brown wood with a soft grain texture. Each of the three legs is painted a different color and clearly labeled in large, kid-readable text near the bottom of the leg:

- Left leg, painted river-blue (#2e6f8e), labeled **Opportunities**
- Center leg, painted soft green (#4a9c5b), labeled **Responsibilities**
- Right leg, painted warm gold (#e0a93b), labeled **Rights**

On top of the seat, sitting cross-legged in a relaxed and proud pose, is a small cartoon Grade 5 student (gender-neutral, brown skin, short hair, friendly smile, casual t-shirt and jeans) giving a thumbs-up. A small thought bubble above their head shows a tiny globe with a wifi arc, suggesting "the digital world."

Behind the stool, a soft pale-cream background with a few light dot-grid markings keeps the focus on the stool itself.

**Style notes:**

- Modern flat cartoon vector style, no heavy shading.
- Bold, clean labels in a friendly sans-serif font that a Grade 5 reader can read at a glance.
- The three legs must look exactly the same length — the visual point is balance.
- No text other than the three leg labels.
- Image dimensions: 4:3 or square, suitable for inline placement at content width.
