Michael finally understood what was going on.
It became clear now that the boy had been pranking him the entire time, including when they met at the airport and at the party. Not daring to touch the tap again, he could only make his way to the refrigerator for some ice cubes. However, they had just moved in yesterday, and the refrigerator was completely empty.
Without any other choice, Michael could only hold the refrigerator door open and stick his head in. The frigid air immediately made him feel much better.
"Why did you do that?" asked Michael as he stared angrily at Jake with his eyebrows raised. "You also added salt to my water, right? What was that for?"
"Mister, what are you talking about?" said Jake in response as he blinked, looking as innocent as ever. "I didn't do anything to your water." He had cleverly avoided Michael's question about the tap.
