When I was a child, I used to see that when rain water accumulated on the road, small children would swim and play in that water. I wanted to play with them but I couldn't swim. My parents would not let me go because the stagnant water was not clear!
I used to stand on the balcony and watch the children play, seeing these pictures reminded me of my childhood memories.
A sad memory actually. But your parents were right in this. 🙂
