A visit to the market
Danger at home
I accompanied my mother to the central market to buy some groceries that she needed for the
coming New Year.
When we arrived at the market we could not find a place to park the car. So we waited patiently
for about ten minutes before someone vacated a parking space and we moved in.
Coming to the market just before a festive season was not a pleasant experience. The whole town
seemed to be there. Everyone had things to buy. So the prices of things shot up. Worst of all, we
had to struggle to get these things.
So we made our way carefully through the various sections buying vegetables, meat, fish,
noodles, spices and other food stuffs. We had wanted to buy some prawns too but they were all
sold out, despite their sky-high price.
The bags got heavier and heavier. The crowd got thicker and thicker. The noise and heat
was overwhelming. As we had nearly done all the shopping, I told my mother that I would wait
for her at the car. I could not stand being among hundreds of aggressive shoppers anymore.
I lugged the bags wearily to the car and breathed a sigh of relief when I reached it. The air
smelled sweet and cool. I was glad to be outside.
Fifteen minutes later my mother emerged from the market. She looked exhausted. We put the
groceries in the boot, got into the car and drove off with the air-conditioner at full blast.
Our home is usually our favorite place to spend time in. However many accidents occur at home.
There are dangerous things in the house and we should be aware of them. Thus we can avoid
unnecessary pain or injury.
Electricity runs many of our home appliances. It is a very useful thing. It is also a very dangerous
thing if used carelessly, for it can kill. Electrical sockets and power points are to be handled with
utmost care. Young children should never be allowed to go near them. Unless we are very sure
of what we are doing, repairs should only be done by a competent electrician. It is only too easy
to getelectrocuted. Old or faulty appliances should be discarded. If used, they are likely to start a
fire somewhere or kill someone who touches it.
The kitchen has many dangerous things. Sharp knives can draw blood, mishandled gas-cylinders
can explode, hot water can scald and stoves can cause nasty burns. Flies and rats can
contaminate food. Thus the kitchen is not a place to be careless in. If we are careful and know
how to handle things there, then the chance of an accident occurring is lessened.
The biggest danger in a bathroom is when the floor is slippery with water or soap. I have heard
of many incidents of people, especially old folks, falling in the bathroom. Sometimes the fall is
fatal. Often it leaves the victim bedridden. Utmost care is needed here.
Finally the medicine cabinet should be inaccessible to young children. Dangerous drugs and pills
can look like sweets to these young ones. If taken, the consequences can be disastrous.
Other dangers do exist. It is up to us to watch out for them.
