Double Cone runs uphill

Imagine a double cone – a shape that looks like two ice cream cones joined at their tips. Now, we're going to give it a special track to roll on, but this track is a bit different. It's like two ramps that slope downwards and meet in the middle.
Gravity's Pull: You know how things like to go downhill because of gravity, right? Well, our double cone feels the same way. It wants to roll downwards, and because the rails converge towards the lower ends, it's at its highest points near the ends of the track and lowest in the middle.
The Middle Attraction: Here's where the magic happens. The double cone always tries to stay at the middle of the track. Why Because it's like a magnet for the cone. When it's in the middle, the slopes on either side guide it towards the lowest point. It's like gravity saying, "Come to the middle, that's where the fun is!"
So, in a nutshell, the double cone has this natural instinct to stay in the middle, thanks to gravity and the clever design of the converging rails. It's like a dance of forces, making the cone gracefully navigate its way, always finding its sweet spot in the middle!

Shim ia kane ka jingshna ba don khoh baroh arliang. Buh iaka ha ka jaka ba kham sha trai ha ka jingker bad sa pyllait ia ka. Kan tyllun, shad pyllun bad kan sa shongthait ha ka jaka bajrong tam ha ka jingker. Hato ka lah shisha ban tyllun shaneng? Peit khmih kumno uto u laiñ hapdeng kine ki khoh u hiar shapoh wat la i kumba u kiew shalor ka jingker. Ym don kano kano ka tiar ne jingthaw kaba lah ban tyllun shaneng da lade hi; ka lah tang ban tyllun shapoh namar ka jingdon ka gravity. Namar ki jingker ki ia kynduh kham sha trai, ha jingshisha, kane ka tiar ba don artylli ki khoh ka long kham kiew ha ka por ba ka shong ha kham shatrai jong ka jingker bad ka long lyngkot ha ka por ba ka shong hapdeng ka jingker.  Namar kata ka daw, kan shongthait beit hapdeng.
