We turned around and saw the boy struggling in the lake, crying out help. Daddy and I ran towards him quickly and had pulled him out of the water. However, the boy rode away immediate without saying "Thank you". I felt disappointing at his behavior. To my surprises, the boy came back with hot drinks and dry towels several minute later.
