A lie is like when you paint a picture of a sunny day, but it’s really raining outside. It’s telling someone something that’s not true. Imagine you have a box of crayons, and you tell your friend you have a magical crayon that can draw by itself. But in reality, it’s just a regular crayon. That’s a lie because you’re not telling the truth about the crayon.
Think of a lie as a little story you make up in your head. It’s like pretending to be a superhero with powers when you don’t actually have them. You might do this to make someone happy or to avoid getting in trouble, but it’s still not real. Telling the truth is like showing your real self, just like when you take off a costume after Halloween.
A lie can be like a bubble you blow. It looks pretty and shiny, but it can pop easily, and then everyone can see it wasn’t real. Lies can make people feel sad or confused because they don’t know what’s true. It’s always better to keep your words like a strong, safe bridge that people can trust to walk on.
