Though the first time we went to the ice skating ring she almost cried because my cousin did n't let her skate because he was afraid that if she fell she would get hurt . But then the next day she was not moving at all and my other cousin was just laughing but April had the fun feeling so she was laughing too . Then the second hotel we went to was really small and we were on the down right first floor .
Why did the speaker 's cousin claim to fear for the girl 's safety , refusing to let her ice skate ?
