Solution
Whenever we are using an old machine, and it starts malfunctioning, we find ourselves facing an important question. Should the machine be repaired or should it be replaced?
Many a times, if the malfunctioning is on a very minimal scale, it is ignored. But if it is causing a problem, we get it repaired. An old machine had already been repaired quite a lot of times in order to maintain it and to use the same machine instead of buying a new one. But what needs to be thought of and considered, is that sometimes machines get spoilt frequently as they get old and eventually it can be seen that more money has been spent in order to repair the old machine than what was needed to buy the machine. In order to save money and to have a more efficiently and properly functioning machine, the old machine could always be replaced by a new one, thus saving the costs for the repairing of the old machine as well as increasing the efficiency of the machine.Thus, sometimes replacing old machines with new is better than getting them repaired.

There was a roaring in the wind all night;
The rain came heavily and fell in floods;
But now the sun is rising calm and bright,
The birds are singing in the distant woods;
Over his own sweet voice the Stock-dove broods;
The Jay makes answer as the Magpie chatters;
And all the air is filled with pleasant noise of waters
All things that love the sun are out of doors;
The sky rejoices in the morning’s birth;
The grass is bright with raindrops-on the moors
The hare is running races in her mirth;
And with her feet she from the plashy earth
Raises a mist; that, glittering in the sun,
Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.
