Sounds Absurd-Do you have a Teretz ?

                                              Sounds Absurd

There once was a person who had 24 children. One day one child
got sick and died. The following day another child became sick
and died.
This continued on with all his children. By the end of the month
all of his 24 children died.

Someone suggested, he should throw a party to celebrate, 

the stopping of his children's death.

Sounds absurd!

R. Akiva had 24,000 Talmidim. All 24,000 Talmidim died within
33 days.
After they all died, we celebrate Lag Baomer because they
stopped dying.

Sounds right?
