He narrates these amazing instances while trying to make a figurine out of wires that looks like a friendly ghost buddy without realising that it is not a ghost, but in fact, his father, who is keeping him safe. His action are invisible to his son, in the same way wires that hidden inside our walls are always keeping our homes safe.
