Boy Climbs into Arcade Game to Claim Prize

Boy squeezes into machine to claim prize, but gets more than what he bargained for.

Three year old Christopher Air was happily playing at an arcade with his mother during his family’s vacation in Skegness.  Over and over again he tried to win a teddy bear by picking it up with a mechanical crane.  When his mother went to get more change for her son, Christopher decided he was fed up and had to take matters into his own hands.  Seeing the opening where the prize was supposed to come out, the little boy squeezed himself inside the machine to fetch the bear himself.

 

“My back was only turned for a minute.  When I looked around, Christopher was inside” said Mrs. Air.  “He’s good at solving problems.  He obviously saw getting the teddy bear as a problem and getting inside the machine was the answer.” 

 

Christopher certainly solved his problem with getting the bear, but in his efforts he only traded it for a new one, how to get out of the machine.  Unfortunately for him, the arcade owner was unable to find the keys to the machine.  After 30 minutes of waiting, Christopher was freed from the machine and the arcade owner let him keep the bear.
