Abstract
One afternoon, my kids were bored and being naughty, as there is no playground in the neighborhood; so I thought why not take them to the park that we have at the entrance to the town. You know, it is so beautiful, full of grass and flowers … very pleasant. After all, why do we need this if we can't use it? So I went for the first time with my kids and after maybe ten or fifteen minutes my husband came hurrying to take me back to the neighborhood. He was angry, and told me “Don't you know it is forbidden?” Apparently his brother drove along the road and saw me, and went straight to my husband to tell him.
