Write a story about a toddler not understanding something in the kitchen
gpt
Her parents were in charge. They lived in a large bungalow with no electric power, no running water. They had servants: a nanny to look after their infant daughter, a cook, and others.

To enter the kitchen, the toddler had to negotiate a wooden sill. Raise one foot and place it on a higher level. Lift the other foot to join the first and push herself up. This took her complete attention, and only after she was successfully standing did she look up at the servants.

This is what she saw. The angry face of the tall cook. His arm raised above his head, holding an axe. Her nanny crouching at his feet, her head bent in submission.

There was a dense silence and no movement. What followed this frozen moment? Were there shouts, screams, or tears? Was there pleading from the nanny? Did the child cry out in fear? Was there a swift and bloody execution, or were they rescued by the sudden appearance of someone?

No one made a sound. The witness was a toddler. Under her infant gaze, the cook slowly lowered his arm, and the nanny quietly rose to her feet.
