Another bedtime story in the summer.
|
It is extremely hot today., over 30 degrees Celsius.
Douglas and Nikki wear their swimming suits and spatter each other in the tiny swimming pool.
"Hey," Nikki says. "Look!"
Daddy fetches the garden hose from the shed, and he attaches it to the tap in the shed. Then he starts spraying the garden.
Nikki gets an idea. She jumps out the pool and walks secretly to the shed. She gets the garden hose and folds it double, so the water can't run anymore.
"Hey? What the heck is this?" when he does not get any water through the hose. He turns the spray-head, but it does not help. Then he looks inside the head to see if there is a blockage.
Exactly at this moment Nikki lets go of the hose. The water sprays at full power, precisely at her father's face. Daddy chokes and coughs.
"Stupid hose," he curses.
He continues spraying, while he wipes the water off his face.
But Nikki folds the hose double again, so the water stops once more.
"What the heck!" Daddy says. "What can this be?"
Douglas who saw it all from a distance, laughs his head off.
Dad looks at him in surprise. Then he understands it. The children fooled him. Nikki lets go of the hose, laughing and runs as fast as she can. The water hits Dad's face again.
"Wait a second, rascals!" he shouts while on the chase with the hose after Nikki. In less than a minute he catches Nikki and Douglas. He gives the pair a huge shower, but they don't mind at all.
The wetter the better, with such hot weather!
