How did the family of the sick child plead their case to Sai Baba when they arrived in Shirdi?

Upon arriving in Shirdi, the desperate parents immediately sought Sai Baba's darshan. Chapter 34 paints a vivid picture of their plea. They bowed at his feet and prostrated, narrating their child's suffering with 'choked voice and folded hands.' With pitiful faces, they conveyed their desperation, stating, 'The child is afflicted by pain; we cannot bear to see his suffering.' They explained that they had exhausted all other options and had come to him seeking refuge with total devotion. They implored Sai Samarth to 'place your hand of protection on his head and remove this ailment,' essentially begging for their son's life.
