As a child, one of my cherished memories was swimming in the river with my brother. We would splash around and enjoy ourselves in the cool water, completely immersed in our own world of fun and laughter.
One day, despite the gloomy weather, we ventured to the river's edge. The rain poured relentlessly, causing the water level to rise and the once clear river to turn muddy. Undeterred by the worsening conditions, we continued to play by the riverside, oblivious to the dangers lurking in the swiftly changing current.
As the rain persisted, our father's voice called out to us, urging us to come home. However, we ignored his calls, dismissing them as mere background noise in our excitement. Sensing his growing concern, we panicked and sought refuge in a nearby cave, hoping to evade his watchful gaze.
From our hiding spot, we watched anxiously as our father waded into the river, frantically searching for any sign of us. Despite his efforts, we remained silent, concealed by the darkness of the cave. Eventually, he gave up the search and sought help from our neighbors, leaving us to contemplate the consequences of our actions.
When he left, we emerged from our hiding place and hurried home, eager to escape any punishment that awaited us. Quickly changing our clothes and pretending exhaustion, we lay down on the mat in our room, simulating sleep upon our father's return.
Thankfully, our ploy worked, and we were spared from facing the consequences of our disobedience. As we drifted off to sleep, we couldn't help but feel grateful for our narrow escape and vowed to be more mindful of our father's warnings in the future.
