Once upon a time, there were two very big countries, let's call them the Land of the Dragon and the Land of the Eagle. They love to trade things with each other, like toys and gadgets. But one day, the Land of the Eagle wanted to add a special rule. This rule would make things from the Land of the Dragon cost more money. The Land of the Dragon felt this was not fair. They said that the Land of the Eagle also has rules to help its own team. So, the Land of the Dragon accused the Land of the Eagle of having double standards. This means having one rule for yourself and a different rule for others. Now, both big countries need to talk and find a way to play by the same rules.
