ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Smuggling tunnel

Okay kiddo, imagine you have two countries that are right beside each other. They have a border between them where people have to show their passports and things they want to bring into the other country. Now imagine that some people want to bring things into the other country that they're not allowed to, like drugs or weapons or things that aren't safe. They can't just carry these things through the border in a bag because they'll get caught!

So what do they do? They dig a secret tunnel deep underground from one country to the other! This way they can hide things inside the tunnel and nobody will see them. They can also secretly move people through the tunnel without showing their passports.

But building a tunnel like this is very hard work and it's dangerous. Imagine digging a big tunnel, with no light and no fresh air or sunshine, and you have to be very careful not to let it collapse on you. Smugglers who build tunnels have to be very sneaky and they have to plan everything carefully, because if someone finds out about their tunnel then they'll get caught and go to jail.

So you see, smuggling tunnels are very bad and it's not okay to do things that are against the law. It's always better to follow the rules and be honest, even if it's harder sometimes.
