Ken took his seven-year-old grandson,
David, to the fair. It was a big fair, and there were

somewhat useless. But when it came to the rides,
Ken was not so keen on them at all.

people are. A person can't trust them out of their
sight for an instant. They do things they shouldn't

do, acting like daredevils and risking their necks.
