An open manhole disaster awaits you as you turn the corner, just barely lit by the moonlight. Unaware, six-year-old Ruby walked towards her nearly grave, saved by her quick-thinking mother, Helen.

Just the other day, little Ruby Helen was walking with her mother, as normal as any other day. It was nearing evening and the streets were lit dimly by the streetlights. But one crucial thing was missing from this unassuming corner of Hyderabad: manhole covers. It was this deadly omission that nearly cost Ruby her life.

As she navigated the familiar streets with her mother, Ruby tripped and fell into an open manhole, landing with an audible thud. The young child would have been buried alive under tons of rubble and who knows how much sewage, except for the quick thinking and rapid reaction of her mother, Helen.

Thankfully, Helen is a large, strong woman, and was able to pull her daughter out of the manhole before any serious harm could come to the now-shaking six-year-old. In the moment that mattered most, Helen proved to be a true Houdini of escape artistry, rescuing her daughter from a terrible, stinky (no doubt smelly) fate.

Of course, Ruby and Helen are now safe and sound at home, but the story doesn't end here. Not content to let this near-tragedy slide, Ruby's father is planning to take legal action against the local government, claiming that negligence led to this nearly catastrophic and entirely avoidable incident.

We shall keep you updated on the court decisions and settlements, but rest assured, dear reader, that justice will prevail, and our little survivor, Ruby, will be well provided for.

Thanks to her quick-thinking mother, Helen, disaster was averted this time. But remember, dear reader, the next manhole cover disaster could have your name on it. And if it does, will you be ready to jump down after your loved ones, or will you join them in the muck? The choice is yours.

Go!
