A three-year-old girl lay on a window ledge for over an hour to watch a cartoon playing on the TV in an apartment in the opposite building in northern China.

The hilarious video, shot in the city of Huludao in Liaoning Province on December 7, shows the girl sitting on the duvets, lying on the window ledge and holding a snack in her hand when staring out of the window while watching a cartoon played in the opposite apartment's TV.

The girl's father asked her: " How to watch the best cartoon in the world, Deng Yuqian?"

According to the father Mr Deng, they strictly control the time of watching TV for their daughter to try to protect her eyesight.

After they turned the TV off on that day, he saw his daughter lying on the window ledge without moving and found out she was watching a cartoon playing in the opposite apartment.

The girl refused to move until the woman in the opposite apartment closed the curtain. Mr Deng said her daughter then turned her head back and cried, saying to him: "I cannot see the cartoon anymore."
