It was a homework-free weekend. Allen
suggested going swimming. He had just completed
his swimming course and was eager to try out the
skills he had learnt. His friends readily
agreed. They headed straight for their
neighborhood swimming complex. It was quite
crowded. They changed quickly and leapt into the
pool. They splashed around on the shallower end.
A lifeguard was keeping a watchful eye on all
the swimmers. Allen challenged his friends for a
swim over in the deep end. They refused as they
knew it was dangerous for them. Besides, they
did not swim that well after all. Allen insisted
that he was a better swimmer and set out to
prove it. He walked over to the deep end and
plunged in. At first everything seemed alright
and his friends cheered. Suddenly, Allen gave a
shout and started flailing his arms. He was
having difficulties ! His friends were too
shocked to react. Luckily, the lifeguard
noticed him and quickly dived in. When he was
safely out of the pool, the lifeguard gave him a
tongue-lashing for fooling around. Allen
apologized. All the way home, he had to endure
his friends making fun of him. |
