The country you never knew bordered Canada because it was hidden behind another country, like a secret friend who lives next door but is always playing hide-and-seek.
Imagine you have a toy box with two toys: a red car and a blue truck. The red car is right next to the blue truck, but you can’t see the red car because the blue truck is in front of it. That’s what happened with this hidden country, it was right next to Canada, but another country was in front of it, hiding it from view.
Like a Playground Fence
Think of borders like a fence around a playground. If you’re on one side of the fence, you can see who is playing next to you. But if there’s another group of kids blocking your view with their toys, you might not notice the other kids behind them, even though they're right there.
So, this hidden country was like those kids behind the fence, it had a border with Canada but wasn’t visible until the country in front moved away or someone looked closer. Now you know why that secret neighbor was hiding!
Examples
