A transaction is like when you trade your toy car for your friend’s action figure. You give them something they want, and they give you something you want. It’s a way to exchange things so everyone gets what they need or like.

Imagine you have a pocket full of marbles. You see your friend has a shiny red marble that you really like. You offer them two of your blue marbles for that one red marble. If they agree, you both make a transaction. You get the red marble, and they get two blue ones. Both of you are happy because you both got something you wanted.

Think of it like a game where everyone has different cards. You might have too many of one kind, and your friend might have too many of another. By swapping cards, you both get a better hand. A transaction is like a little game of swapping, where everyone wins by getting something they need or want. It’s all about trading and sharing in a fair way.
