What is happening?

This is just a two step stool that my father built many years ago. It is pretty safe. I mean, look at it. A baby could play on this and not get hurt.

This is the ceiling fan I wanted to clean. But it is high up. I couldn't clean it by just standing there. It took me three tries.  The first time I fell off onto the bed. Then I just fell off. In her sitting room,  it was more complicated. There was a coffee table, a sofa, computer. I tried to figure it all out. I was a mess.

It was a two step ladder. I am in trouble.

Are these not beautiful?
