Summary
It is about two brothers whose names were Toto and Joel.
They asked their parents to buy them a boat. Their parents said that they have
to wait until they arrive to Cartagena. But Toto and Joel did not care about
what they said, and they insisted and insisted until his father bought the
boat. But, the father told them that the boat was in the garage and they cannot
take it to upstairs because it was huge. At the next morning the kids with the
help of their friends took the boat upstairs to their room. When their parents
arrived they were very impressed.
At the same night the parents went out for dinner, and
the kids played around the house made a big mess. They broke some lamps. Also, they filled the house with water, so
they can play with their new boat. However, Toto and Joel were not satisfied.
They asked their parents for diving suits, and they said no. But the kids told them
if they win first place at their school, then they will have to buy them diving
suits. As time progressed, Toto and Joel won the first place and their parents
bought them their diving suit. The parents were very happy and proud of their
kids. Then they asked the kids what else they wanted for their achievements, so
they responded that they only wanted a party.
One night their parents went out and they decided to arrange
a party for their kids. While the parents were away, the kids invited all their
friends and filled the house with water again. They put up lights everywhere in
the house, so the whole city would notice about their party with their friends.
However, when the parents arrived that night to their house, they were shocked
that Toto and Joel were died from drowning in their own house.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez was known for "One Hundread Years Of Solitude" in Japan.
I also like to read La luz es como el agua sometime! Miho
from what i understood from reading La Luz es Como el Agua is that his classmates drowned, because they could not navigate around the light like toto and joel..
