Problem you encountered and how you solved or managed it
It was an accident. No one wanted it to happen. In fact everyone wanted to make sure that nothing of that kind happened. In short, I was to be blamed, as everyone else had said so because I had left the ladder against the wall knowing that there was a child around. I had been hanging the curtains to help the maid from the 2nd floor as she had asked me for help and I was kind enough to help her.
But how could I have known that it would cause so many problems as I had expected the maid to put away the ladder later but she just forgot about it and went on to do her cooking. Children are unpredictable, and that was true of Ryan too. Seeing that there was no one around, he started to climb up the ladder with his short arms and legs just as he had seen his neighbor, me, do so. The maid was inside the house and heard him calling out excitedly and just thought that he was just playing and calling out to her as he had usually did. Then she heard a loud scream and a thud and then silence. The maid quickly ran out just to see Ryan on the floor bleeding from his head.
