There are infinitely many real numbers between 0 and 1. Are there twice as many between 0 and 2, or are the two amounts equal?

I know the actual technical answer. I’m looking for a witty parallel that has a low chance of triggering an infinite “why?” procedure in a child.

Infinity is not “everything”, it means , there is no end. Although you can double the numbers, for example, 1,2,3,4,5… And 2,4,6,8…, the counting just never ends. All numbers between 0 and 1 are also between 0 and 2, but not the other way around. But in the end, in both cases, there are infinitely many numbers.
