The grandson pushed his grandmother into the lake, knowing full well that she couldn’t swim and was afraid of the water, just for fun: relatives stood nearby and laughed, but none of them could even imagine what this woman would do as soon as she got out of the water.

The grandson pushed his grandmother into the lake, fully aware that she couldn’t swim and was terrified of the water, just as a joke. Relatives stood nearby, laughing, and none of them could have imagined what this woman would do once she got out of the water 😢😱

The grandson stood at the edge of the pier, smiling as if he were about to do something harmless.

— Grandma, do you remember saying that you didn’t know how to swim and that you always wanted to learn?

She nervously adjusted her scarf and looked at the water. The lake seemed dark and cold.

— Yes, I did it. But I’m afraid of water. Very scared. Don’t joke around like that.

— Stop making a big deal out of it, — the nineteen-year-old grandson laughed. — You’re just getting worked up.

She took a step back, but he was faster. A slight push toward her back—and her body lost its balance. She fell, hit the water, and disappeared beneath the surface for a second.

When she got on the stairs, there was real fear in her eyes.

— Help… I can’t… — her voice broke.

She tried to grab the planks of the jetty, but her hands slipped on the wet wood. Her clothes pulled her down, her breathing faltered. She thrashed about, swallowed water, and sank again.
