One day, my grandfather was in a small row boat on the river just in front of the house. He saw grandma on the balcony and waved to her. She waved back and carried on watering the plants. Grandad wanted to move to the front of the boat and stood up to move forward. However, he wasn't as careful as he usually was and he fell into the water! When he came back up, he put both arms up, looked at the balcony and went 'Ta da!' But no one was there!
He was so disappointed. He said later, 'If you're going to make a fool of yourself, it's more fun if there's someone to watch!"
