One summer afternoon, the weather was amazed, so I thought it was good for swimming. Thus, I came to the pool but found many boys were already there. I was afraid and did not know what to do. Just as I was wondering, I felt somebody give me a push and I was dropped. Frightened in the water, I wouldn’t help crying. “Help, help! ” I heard some laughter from opposite side. I tried to keep myself balance, only to find the water was just a little above my knee.
