Explicado para niños

Imagine you have a big box of toys with just one broken toy inside. When someone plays with that broken toy, it can break other toys too. In this case, Adam was like that first broken toy; his mistake (sin) broke the world and made everyone else's toys (our lives) get damaged too.
