My grandmother loves to bake cookies.
So I would take several cookie shape cutters, e.g. I would take a square cookie shape cutter and make several cookie imprints that resembles the square shape.

So this square cookie cutter acts like a class, its basically like a blueprint, that creates several objects or in this case square cookies.

Now grandma you know grandpa likes coating of strawberry syrup on his cookie. So your modifying a one of the square cookies. Well this is how overriding works in Object oriented design.

But mom likes cookies that are of circular form, now u can take this circular cutter which has the same diameter as the side of the square in the cutter and create circular cookies. Therefore you see if you change the shape of this cookie, it does not affect the shape of other cookies right??? well this is how object oriented design ensures code protection.
