Question
What are the different ways in which Tilly’s parents could have reacted to her behavior? What would you have done if you were in their place?
Solution
Not taking her seriously, Tilly’s parents could have tried to calm her down thinking that she had been frightened by something. As a result, they could have been washed away by the tsunami waves.
If I were in their place, I too would have listened to her and realised that there was a danger approaching. Consequently, I too would have rushed away from the beach.
