The small ladder beside the steep water slide of the Munsu Water Park, built as an excellent facility for pursuing cultural and leisure activities of people, is associated with a touching story that pulls at everyone's heartstrings up till now.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"We should regard it as an iron rule to respect the people, defend their destiny and give the highest and absolute priority to their interests and comfort."

On October 13, Juche 102(2013), the respected General Secretary visited the Munsu Water Park which was built on the picturesque River Taedong on the occasion of the 68th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea.

That day the respected General Secretary looked round the water park with a bright smile on his face, saying he was very satisfied that the Munsu Water Park had been designed well, the service personnel had constructed it splendidly, and another wish of Chairman Kim Jong Il had been realized, who had been so concerned to provide the people, the youth and the children with a comprehensive water park.

When the respected General Secretary was at the steep water slide of the outdoor water park, looking at the students water sliding from a dizzy height, the respected General Secretary said that the most popular equipment in the outdoor water park was the steep water slide, and in summer it would be very crowded, adding that water sliding is good for the youth to develop bravery.

And he meticulously instructed to settle the problems arising in the use of the steep water slide one by one – he said that a drainage facility should be installed to let the excess water out that overflew onto the floor of the outdoor water park when people played on the steep water slide.

Then he abruptly told the officials that many people failed to go down to the end of the water slide.

Having been told this, the officials carefully observed those who stopped midway on the slide while they were going down the steep water slide and jumped down onto the floor, but they could realize nothing.

The respected General Secretary told the officials that they should build a ladder beside the middle of the horizontal section so that those who failed to reach the end could come down.

The officials were so moved by the respected General Secretary, who provided such a splendid and wonderful comprehensive water park for the people, and took relevant measures to remove the mere inconvenience that people could suffer.

Afterwards a small ladder that people could use to descend sideways from the middle of the horizontal section of the steep water slide was built.

Although it is a small ladder neither high nor noticeable, it reflects a world of noble love for the people of the respected General Secretary, who gives the highest and absolute priority to the interests and the comfort of the people.

The Munsu Water Park, which has been built as a socialist paradise in the era of the Workers' Party thanks to the devotion of the respected General Secretary to the happiness of the people, resounds with the laughter of happiness and optimism of the people.
