George has to make the big decision to shut off the nursery and house, all the machines that tie their shoes, brush their teeth, and beds that rock them to sleep. -
Falling Action
Once George shuts off the nursery, the children are hysteric. They throw tantums and plead for their father to turn it on for just a few minutes. After awhile, George obliges and turns on the nursery while he goes and gets dressed. Minutes later the children call George and Lydia back down to the nursery. -
Resolution
The children lock their parents in the veldt, and let the lions attack them. When the parent's friend stops by, he sees the children sitting in the veldt having a picnic, while lions finish devouring their parents in the distance.
