After falling down, he brushed the dirt off his hair, face, trousers and shirt. After that he said that he has a Plan B. Again mom asks him not to fall down. However father laughs at it and swings up on a branch. But the branch breaks and father again falls back on the deck badly.
Mom asks him to stop or else he will break his neck. At this, father says that he will try Plan C now and it will be as easy as a blink of eye. Saying that, father climbs up on the garden wall and this time he did not fall. He jumped and landed on a strong branch near the cat.
The cat yelled and jumped to the ground without injuring itself and was smiling. On the other hand, father got stuck on the tree.
