A corpse is like a toy that has stopped working. Imagine you have a toy robot that used to move and make sounds, but now it doesn’t do anything anymore. Just like the toy, when a person or animal stops living, their body is called a corpse. They don’t move, breathe, or do anything at all.
Think of it like a computer that has been turned off. When the computer is on, it can do a lot of things like showing pictures and playing games. But when it’s off, it just sits there and doesn’t work. A corpse is like the computer that has been turned off and can’t be turned on again.
Another way to understand it is like a flower that has wilted. When a flower is alive, it is bright and colorful. But when it wilts, it loses its color and droops. A corpse is like the wilted flower, no longer full of life. It’s important to remember that even though the body stops working, the memories and love we have for that person or animal stay with us, just like how we still remember how fun the toy or beautiful the flower was.
