[ WP ] what is a soul as explained to a 5 year old

`` Daddy, what's a soul?'' Billy asked. 
 
 I picked up a paint brush, dipped in green paint and whipped it at the wall. `` That is your nose smelling things.'' I dipped the brush in blue and whipped it at the wall. `` That is fingers and skin touching stuff.'' I dipped it in red and whipped it at the wall. `` Red is the things you hear.'' I flung purple and told him it was taste. I flung yellow and told him it was the things he saw. White was the happy things. Black was the bad things. I sent several whips of silver across the wall. `` Silver are your dreams.'' I flipped gold across the whole thing. `` Gold are all the good moments you'll remember.'' 
 
 Billy looked at the wall and smiled. `` It's kind of pretty, dad.'' 
 
 `` I know, son.''
