What are agreements?

An agreement is like when you and your friend both promise to do something, and you both stick to it.

Imagine you and your friend are playing a game with marbles. You say, "I'll give you 5 marbles if you give me 3 candies." That's an agreement, you're both making a deal that you’ll follow through on what you said.

Sometimes, people make agreements to help each other out. Like when your parents agree with the grocery store: "We'll pay for the milk if you give us 10 bottles." That’s just like how you and your friend made a deal with marbles and candies, but bigger!

If one person breaks the agreement, it can feel unfair. Like if your friend took the 5 marbles but didn’t give you 3 candies. Then you’d probably say, "Hey, we had an agreement!" And that’s when things get fun, because now both of you have to remember what you promised!
