The forged signature and how it always ends, sentence 5

Signing someone else's name to fool people is called forgery, and it is a serious kind of lie, because the paper says a grown-up agreed when they didn't.

Who acts: Signing, name, paper, someone · What happens: sign, fool, call, be, say, grow up · To what, where: name, people, forgery, serious kind · Speech: someone speaks here
