Chapter 30 Stop It Now

• Nora, the pretty helper, seemed a little stunned upon hearing Alexander’s question. “The swing isn’t that high, and the ground beneath it is cushioned. Plus, we’ve never had any accidents with the swings in school,” she answered.
• But Alexander continued to point at the railing of the swings with a look of contempt on his face. “Just because there has never been an accident doesn’t mean that there won’t be one in the future. Do you think a child would be able to balance and keep themselves on the swing if they were to loosen their grip while they’re high up in the air?” He then turned around to glance at the rainbow-colored tartan track nearby. “I took a look at the tartan track just now. Its corners aren’t fully covered with rubberized material, and it’s clear that you guys do not pay enough attention to the untrimmed weeds around the area. Some naughty kids might hide in the bushes without you realizing; what happens if a poisonous snake shows up then?”
• The helper’s face was drained of color. She didn’t know how to respond to the man’s words. What kind of kid is going to let go of their grip on the swing for no good reason? Also, the gardeners might have slacked off a little with their work in the field recently, but the grass is barely at the height of my ankles! I’ve never seen a parent as harsh and demanding as Alexander in Sapphire Kindergarten!
