It broke into a million pieces.
I put it back together again; it still works.
Oh... I lost a couple of pieces... But it still works.
Wait! I've lost a couple hundred pieces... But it still works
Scratch that. I lost a couple thousand pieces... But it still works
Oh dear. Nevermind. I have about ten pieces left... But it still works.
Oh no... Well, I only have one piece of this fragile thing... But it still works.
I'm giving this last piece to you. I trust you. Please don't lose it.
