Put your tools away lest the children may fall over them.

Explanation:

  • 'Lest' is a conjunction that means 'for fear that; that not; or in order to prevent something from happening.'
  • Thus, it is employed to introduce the cause for which an action is asked to be done or an emotion is revealed for.
  • In the given case, the speaker asks to 'put the tools away' in order to prevent the children from being hurt by those tools and also display the cause for which the action is called for.
