Fraud is like when someone says they have a magic cookie that can make you fly, but it’s just a regular cookie. They trick you into giving them your favorite toy in exchange for the cookie, but you don’t get to fly because it was all a lie.
Imagine a game where everyone plays fair and takes turns. If someone cheats by pretending they rolled a six when they really rolled a three, that’s like fraud. They are not being honest, and it makes the game unfair for everyone else.
Think about a storybook where a character pretends to be a superhero but doesn’t actually have any powers. They might tell others they can save the day, but when trouble comes, they can’t help at all. That’s another way of understanding fraud, where someone pretends to be something they’re not, just to get something from others.
