Script
One hot day, a woman is riding a train with three young children who are her two nieces and nephew. A man is also in the train car. The children are noisy. The woman tries to control them, but they are running and spinning around like a tornado. The children are especially fond of asking “Why” questions. The aunt does not have good answers to these questions. The man in the train car is annoyed by the children and gives them an angry look.
