Fool others are people who trick other people into thinking something that isn’t true.
Imagine you have a favorite candy bar in your lunchbox. You know it’s yours, but you tell your friend it’s their candy bar, and you make them believe it so much that they even give you some of their snack to trade for it! That’s what fool others do, they say things that aren’t true, and they get people to believe them.
How fool others work
Think of a fool other like a clever actor in a play. They act so convincing that everyone else thinks the story is real, even though it's all pretend. Maybe they say something like, “I saw your favorite toy disappear into the sky!” and you believe them because they said it with such excitement.
Why fool others are fun
Sometimes fool others do this just for laughs. Other times, they might be trying to get a better deal or make someone feel silly. Either way, they’re using their words like a magic wand, but not magic wand, just a very clever one!
