Alice: Ew. What is that? Dill: It's that toy I got for Christmas because I felt sorry for it. Alice: Why are you dragging it around out here? Dill: I take it for a walk sometimes to try and cheer it up. Alice: Does it do anything? Dill: It makes a noise halfway between a sigh and a groan. Sometimes it spits out sparks and smells bad. Frankly, I'm starting to worry about.

Yes, Dill; I think you should start to worry about it. It may be a dying toy in need of Toy Hospice care!
