Five Short Stories - One Big Lesson

I fall in.
I am lost . . . I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Story -2

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Story -3

It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
