The little boy saw his father and other people grieving beside his mother who lay motionless on the floor. He grew restless and started pestering his dad to get new batteries. Dad eventually lost his patience and shouted at his son.

With tears in eyes the little boy said, “dad once you explained to me how our body works like a wonderful machine. Why don’t you get new batteries so that we put them into mom’s body and restart the machine just like my toy cars.”

Dad didn’t know how to explain that some machines cannot restart how much ever one tries.
