The Water Slide

It’s summer break for me. So my sister, my niece and I headed over to visit my folks. After boarding a train and a rickety flight we finally made it to Salalah. Out here since there is not much to do, my folks have membership at a hotel nearby so we get to use their pool, gym etc.
So the other day all 5 of us (Dad, Mom, Sis, Niece and I) headed down to the pool. This pool has a water slide and although it’s not very big, it’s pretty alright. My sister and I took turns at it and after much nagging and convincing my 6’2 dad decided to have a go.
We saw him climb and sit down so we waited.....
We saw a huge gush of water come and so we waited.....
And then.....
We saw 2 hands over the edge of the slide .....they were slowly moving along the edge....
And that’s when we realized it ...
Soon after dad had sat down, the water for the slide had got turned off. So the poor man had to slide himself down the slide.....
We hope to go there again this week.. let’s see what happens !!!
