Stuck in the mud

Kong Kong related this story to Mama:

"When I was about 8 or 9, my 3rd Aunty took care of me. At that time, we lived in a coffeeshop, near Weld Quay. I was very bored one day and decided to swim in the Quay. So, I ran across the road and jumped right into the water. I didn't realise this but, it was quite deep. As my feet sank into the black mud, I realised that it was sinking deeper and deeper. By that time, I was already underwater, although I was standing.

At first, I panicked. But luckily had the presence of mind to kneel down and dig my feet out with my hands [starts showing Mama how it was done]. When my feet were freed, I quickly swam out and walked back to the coffeeshop. I cleaned myself up and half an hour later, I got a fever. I think it was from the shock. I don't know. I almost died. So naughty huh?"

[laughs outloud]
