Explanation

The chapter describes how Anand's burglar alarm was designed to detect thieves who open doors stealthily. However, since Papa also opens the door softly, he became the unintended victim of the alarm. The water bag fell on him, leaving him 'sopping wet and scowling'. This shows how Anand's inventions often don't work as intended.
