Moment
Context: Person A said that he donated a large amount of money and helped many people.
But "Person B" does not believe it.
Person A: He explained the moment in an exaggerated way.
Person B: He is just listening in disbelief because that seems unbelievable.
Please check them.
Can we say "donated a large amount of money and helped many people (I am not sure it is called a moment) " as a moment?
Can you suggest any suitable word instead of "the moment"?
