Consideration is like making a promise with a friend. Imagine you and your friend want to trade toys. You promise to give your friend your red car, and your friend promises to give you their blue truck. This promise is called consideration because both of you are giving something to each other. It’s like a special agreement that makes both of you happy.
Think of it like a see-saw in a playground. For the see-saw to work, both sides need to have kids on them. If one side is empty, the see-saw won’t move. Consideration is like having both kids on the see-saw, making it go up and down smoothly. This means both people in a promise give something, making it fair and balanced.
Consideration is also like a hug from a friend. When you give a hug, you also get a hug back. It feels nice because both people are sharing something special. In promises, consideration is like that hug, where both people give something to make the promise work. Without it, the promise wouldn’t feel complete.
