There were small waterfalls hidden under the floor. If I stepped to close to the border between carpet and regular floor, and there was a waterfall just there, I would fall into it and be whisked away to a tropical island. I was terrified, and sat motionless on the carpet for quite some time. Eventually my mother cured me, by drawing and subsequently burning a picture of a waterfall.
