How can fire or hot things be a danger in the house? Matches, of course, are always dangerous in the hands of young children. A wind comes, sparks are blown onto the roof of a house, and the whole building may be burnt to the ground before you can even call the Fire Brigade. Kerosene lamps (煤油灯), too, can be very dangerous. Quite recently there was a bad accident in a village house. The mosquito net over a baby’s bed was blown against a lamp and caught fire. The bedclothes and even the clothes of the baby were burnt before the fire was discovered. Besides, it’s very dangerous to burn wood or garbage next to your house.
Young children often reach up to a table to take a pot down by its handle. If the pot is full of boiling water, you can guess what will happen. Similarly, when a baby’s bath is prepared, cold water should be put in first. If any hot water has to be used, it should be put into the bath after the cold water but not before it.
Many fireworks can lead to blindness and other injuries. Wooden spears or swords should be used only by children with sense enough not to injure other people.
Very young children often have to be watched very carefully. They put everything they find into their mouths to see whether it can be eaten. Medicines have to be put out of their reach. A pill or some ointment which might be harmless to a grown-up can be very harmful to a baby.
If there are stairs in your house, do not put a mat at the top of them unless you want to crash down the stairs on your shoulder or head. Make sure, too, that your mats do not have curly edges. These are dangerous for the very young and the very old: those who cannot see as well as we can. If there are any deep holes in or near your garden, see that they are filled in or properly covered up.
This blacklist of the dangers in and near a house is not complete, but it is enough to remind you to be careful. If you want to take a risk, do it on the sports field or, when you are older, by serving your country in the Army.
