What are double agents?

A double agent is someone who works for two groups at the same time, and helps both of them without either knowing about the other.

Imagine you're playing a game with your best friend, but you also have another friend who's on the opposite team. You want to win the game, so you tell your first friend secrets from the other team, but you also tell your second friend secrets from your first friend’s team! That way, you help both teams without either of them knowing about the sneaky trick you're doing.

Think of a double agent like a pizza delivery person who works for two pizzerias. When they deliver a pizza to one place, they also drop off a secret message for the other pizzeria, telling them what flavor of pizza is coming next! This helps both pizzerias plan better and surprise each other with tasty tricks.

A real-life example is like when someone in a spy team starts working for another country, but keeps their old job too. They might give secrets to one side while pretending they're still loyal to the other. It's like having two secret identities! A double agent is someone who works for two groups at the same time, and helps both of them without either knowing about the other.
