When you falsify something, it’s like telling a story that isn’t true. Imagine you have a coloring book, and you color a cat in a way that makes it look like a dog by adding a long tail and floppy ears. You’re changing what the cat really is, just like when someone falsifies information, they change the truth to make it look like something else.
Think about building a sandcastle at the beach. If you say your sandcastle is as tall as a real castle, but it’s only as tall as your knee, that’s falsifying. You’re saying something that isn’t true to make it sound more exciting or impressive.
Pretend you have a magic box that can turn apples into oranges. If you show your friend an apple and tell them it’s an orange without using your magic box, you’re falsifying. You’re not showing things as they really are, which might confuse your friend. Falsifying is like playing pretend with the truth, but sometimes it can make others feel tricked or misled.
