A group of 15-20 people are surrounding a Nissan Tida car, shouting and trying to wake up a Indian girl (maybe 9 or 10 years old) who is sleeping in the back seat with her mouth wide open. The sleeping posture of the girl is looking scary. The doors of the car are fully shut and the A/c is switched off. An elderly person in the crowd is banging the doors of the car and shaking the car to try and awaken the girl. No effect. The girl is motionless. No sign of her parents around.
The elderly man shouts: “I am 100% sure the girl is semi-conscious. Call the police, let them come and break open the windows.” Blah…blah. His words spread panic amongst the crowd who peered through the window to check the girl. “She is breathing,” one guy shouted.
People around cursed the parents of the girl who left her alone in this state. One smart alec ventured into Supa Save store to find her parents who were shopping inside. The girl’s father came running, quite panicked to see a crowd around his car. He opened the door, and shook the girl’s shoulders. The girl slowly opened her eyes. She was infact sleeping away to glory.
The crowd slowly disappeared with faint smiles. The elderly man still continued to grumble, “I am sure the car was air tight unlike what the girl’s father claims.” “Irresponsible people…it could have been disastrous,” he kept on blabbering.
I couldn’t control my laughter. On the other hand, I am thinking what an idiot that girl’s father was…to leave his daughter alone in the car with all windows closed and without switching on the A/c.
