Private defense agency

Alright kiddo, imagine you have a toy and you really love it. You want to keep it safe and protect it from anyone who might try to take it away or hurt it.

Now imagine that there are many other kids who also have toys and want to keep them safe. They all form a group called a "private defense agency" to protect their toys and help each other out.

Just like how mommy and daddy pay for security cameras and locks to keep our home safe, the members of the private defense agency pay some money to hire people who will keep an eye out for bad guys and make sure no one takes their toys away. These people are called security guards.

If a bad guy does happen to try and take someone's toy, the security guards will step in and stop them. That's why it's important for the private defense agency to work together and help each other out when needed.

So in short, a private defense agency is a group of people who band together to pay for security guards to protect their belongings and help each other out when needed. Just like how we work together to keep our family and home safe.
