One conversation with my daughter

One day, my daughter was on her way to school with her father. She saw lots of stagnant water on the roads (a typical sight in India after rains). She questions why the water was there. Her father told her that since it rained heavily the previous night all the roads were flooded.

She asks, “why doesn’t the water go into the drains beside?”

Her father: “People fill the drains with waste material and hence there is no space for water to go”

She: “Why doesn’t the CM and other ministers tell these people not to do that?”

Father: “They are busy with other things”

She: “Then there are other people who work for them. Why don’t they come?”

No reply from father. This question is on the lips of every common man. But coming from a 7 year old, looks like the fact is visible unabashedly.
