The veldt

Summary
Lydia and George Hadley install the latest technology in their house. This house has the ability to dress them, cook them food, brush their teeth, and even rock them to sleep. This house is so amazing that it acts more of a parent then George and Lydia, its almost like the kids don't even need them. They call this technology the happy life home. This futuristic home has a high tech nursery that is holographic it has the ability to change into whatever the kids are thinking of. Lydia is starting to think there is something wrong with the nursery and wants George to go look at it. As they walk into the nursery the ceiling and walls turn into a genuine African veldt. They have been hearing off and on screams for about a month now and on their way out they found different belongings of there's all torn up and chewed with blood on them. George and Lydia sat down the kids and told them that they do not want them thinking about Africa anymore because it is to dangerous. Days went on and they still thought of Africa and when the parents entered the room the lions attacked them and ate them. 


Relationship
I believe that the kids were training the lions with holograph figures of their parents to kill their parents. I have seen a Disney movie that i believe was inspired by this short story. I really enjoyed this short story and i would recommend others to read it.
