Painfully the lake engulfed the students

Hot weather! While some friends made a fire to roast meat, others played by the water's edge and took pictures.
Unfortunately, one of the female students in the group fell into the water with a tripped foot!
Panicking, a group of schoolgirls standing nearby jumped to save you, but gradually sank.
Seeing you in distress, the remaining students shouted for help. There are two people who ran to the scene, jumped down to save the victim but failed.
Only when a number of people came to the aid, did 4 drowned young bodies were recovered.
