Explained for Children

Imagine you lost your old toys but got new ones that are even better. You might say, 'This toy box is too small for all my new toys! I need a bigger one to fit them all.' This verse is like that, talking about new children who will need more space, just like you might need a bigger toy box for your new toys.
