Interesting question. To me, the most obvious answer is to draw an analogy between a ribosome and a shopper. The ribosome reads mRNA just as the shopper reads a grocery list. Each unit of mRNA is a three-letter code that tells the ribosome which amino acid it needs to add to make a complete protein, much in the same way that each item in a grocery list tells the shopper which items to pull from the shelves and add to their shopping cart.
