Question

Bring out the significance of the `yellow water` though he has specifically mentioned that the water was as clean and clear as the bathtub before experiencing drowning.

Answer 1

The `yellow water` was there in the tub either because he peed in the tub or the sun overhead could have made him see water as being yellow and the dirty particles inside water and chlorine would be visible in the light making the child think it is dirty.

Other explanation would be the fact that he was very close to death and it has been said that people when dying see a yellow light calling them, essentially meaning that he was close to death.
