Imagine you’re playing a game with your friend. You and your friend make some rules for the game—you’re the main players. But then your mom says she will give you both a treat if you follow the rules. Your mom is like the “third party”—she’s not playing the game with you, but she’s still involved in what’s happening because she will give you the treat. So, the “third party” is someone who is not directly playing but is still connected to the game.
Think of the first and second parties like this: You and your friend are making a special club. You make a promise to share your toys, and you write it down as club rules.
– **First party:** That’s you, because you wrote your name first in the club rules.
– **Second party:** That’s your friend, because their name is written second.
So, in your club, you are the first party, and your friend is the second party. You’re both the main people involved in making the rules.
