Overcharge is like when you go to a candy store with a handful of coins, ready to buy your favorite candy. You know it costs only two coins, but the shopkeeper asks for five. That’s overcharge because they’re asking for more coins than the candy is worth. It’s like if you were playing a game and someone took more of your game pieces than they should have. It doesn’t feel fair, does it?
Imagine you have a toy box, and every time you want to play with a toy, you need to give one toy back. One day, someone says you need to give back three toys to play with one. That’s overcharging because they’re taking more toys than they should. It makes you feel like you’re losing more than you’re gaining.
Think of it like when you trade stickers with friends. You trade one sticker for another, but if someone asks for two of your stickers for just one of theirs, that’s not a fair trade. They’re asking for too much, just like an overcharge. It’s important to trade or buy things fairly so everyone feels happy and treated right.
