One day, in the winter, in the Krimml 

Waterfalls in Austria, a family of one dad, one 

mom, and one four year old girl came to see 

the shimmering ice of the frozen falls. To their 

mistake they went and looked down from the 

top of the falls instead of the bottom, where a 

certain four year old had a risk of slipping.

“Mother may I please sprint down the first part 

of the frozen falls?” she said with big, hopeful 

eyes. Oh yes, and one thing about this certain 

little four year old: she was a genius.

        Her mother looked at her with a kind but 

startled look on her face. “Oh, dear, no. Why 

would you want to do that?”

“Cuz. I think it’ll be fun.The speed be pretty fast, 

but not too bad, because the frozen waterfall is 

not that steep of a slope. I just want to go five 

meters, and I predict it will take me about one 

minute to go down, but it might take me three 

minutes to come back up. My speed will be five 

meters per minute. I will be moving at a fast 

motion. The distance between me and the bottom 

of the falls will get less as I go down. I will be in 

motion, since the state in which one object's 

distance from another is changing.” 

   Her mother was shocked at her genius 

comment and replied, “Where did you learn all 

this? How do you know about speed?”

  “Oh, it’s easy. Speed is basically the distance an 

object travel per unit of time.”she smiled widely. 

“Please? I did the calculations in my head and 

realized that there is only a 34.975% chance of 

me falling based on my age, height, weight, and 

average speed.”

    “What?! What book did you memorize this 

from? No, sweetie, we came here to be tourists, 

not to fall on our faces.”

The little girl sucked on her thumb and her eyes 

started to tear.

“Dear, we are only saying this to protect you,” 

her dad said soothingly. He leaned over to her 

mom and said, “We have to get this girl IQ 

tested.” 

One thing that neither parent knew about their 

child is that she had a large sized temper issue 

and was quick to show her anger. Depressed 

and irritated that her parents would not let her 

ride the falls, she grabbed her mom’s phone, 

and walked up to the falls. Then, with all her 

might, she threw the phone into the falls!

Both parents were horrified and shocked. “What!?” 

they exclaimed at the exact same time. “What did 

you just do? You threw Mom’s phone all the way 

into the falls!?”

“Well,” the girl replied, “Her phone did not go 

anywhere compared to its case. See, I just 

compared Mom’s phone case to her phone. 

Therefore, her phone case is the reference point in 

relation to her phone. If you didn’t know, reference 

point is the place/object used to compare, to 

determine if an object is in motion.” Again, her 

parents’ mouths dropped open. Then they said, 

“That’s it. We’re going to the car.”

But the four-year-old crept back to the 

waterfalls, and her mother sighed. “Oh all right. 

I think I have an idea. There are rocks which 

we could use as separations for the parts of the 

waterfall. You will jump from the lowest set of 

rocks. That’s only 47 meters.”

The girl’s face was ecstatic! “Yay! Thank you so 

much!”

Together, as a family, they trekked back to the 

place where the girl was going to slide.
