We lived now in a street called Penpons. There was, in fact, a bridge over a small stream nearby, and the main road at the end of our street passed over it. From this bridge, in November we boys used to drop lit fireworks into the water below. Before dropping them, we waited for their fuses to burn strongly. Then, when they reached the stream, they went through the water at top speed like torpedoes, before exploding in the distance.
