A contract is like a special kind of promise between two people. Imagine when you and your friend agree to share your toys. You both say, “I will let you play with my toy if you let me play with yours.” This is like a contract because you both agree to do something for each other.
Think of a contract as a recipe for making sure everyone knows what to do. Just like when you bake cookies, you follow steps so the cookies turn out yummy. A contract tells people what they need to do, so everything is fair and clear.
A contract is also like a treasure map. It shows you the way to get what you want, but only if you follow the path and do what the map says. If you don’t, you might not find the treasure or get what you were promised.
Finally, a contract is like a handshake. When you shake hands with someone, it shows you both agree on something. A contract is a way to remember that agreement, so you don’t forget what you promised to do.
