In the picture, a girl is riding a bicycle but her father is on her left showing the direction, her mother on her right with a first-aid box and behind her is her granny, who is already out of breath. They are all running as they are holding the bicycle. Sweat is falling down their foreheads. The girl is shouting, “Leave me alone. I can manage.”
