Grandparents took Paapu & Paachu to Fantasy water theme park in Palakkad. There was a water ride meant for adults, in which you slide through a tunnel in a tyre tube, and splash land to the water pool. Paapu looked at the ride and was intelligent enough to back out. Paachu on the other hand, wanted to give it a try. Grandfather took Paachu to the ride and the guy in charge of safety denied Paachu on grounds of his age. Later he allowed going by Paachu's attitude/will to do. Now, he was made to sit on the tyre tube and his grandfather left him from the top and grand mom was waiting at the bottom to collect him. 30 seconds after he was dropped from one end, the tyre came alone at the other end. Paachu came tumbling after and splashed into the pool where the tunnel ends. He stood up in the pool, ensured all is well, went near his bro who was curiously watching what was going on and said, ‘Be careful when you play in water’. Somebody rightly said ‘A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for’.

Note: Might sound hard to believe but cent percent true.
