A funny video which surfaced online shows a family trying to help a little boy break free after getting himself trapped inside a local water pot also known as gourd.

Their son mysteriously found himself inside the large pot and could not get out. His family had to use a hammer to break it gently so that he can be freed.

In the video clip, they could be seen hitting the gourd at different pressure points so that it would break and not cause any harm to the kid.

The boy’s head was popping out of the water gourd and after several minutes, he was eventually brought out unhurt while holding a toy car in his hand.
