Question

One summer day when I was sixteen, my friend Steve and I were taking a new short cut through the woods to visit another friend who lived in the country. His house was about five miles away by the road, but we figured the short cut would cut it to only three. After we had liked about half way, we came to a creek. We studied it for a moment, thinking what to do. It was about 15 feet wide and guesses, 6 or 8 feet deep; we had to either swim across or walk perhaps miles out of our way trying to find a bridge.

Steve, a devil-type, quickly took off his boots and trousers, tied them all together and threw them across the creek, plunged in without further ado, and had soon swum to the other side-dripping wet, to be sure, but already needing me for still being on the wrong side of the creek. Not a good swimmer, I hesitated: How deep was the water? Could I dog paddle across without sinking? Too longer I delayed, the more energetically Steve haunted me for being chicken.

Finally, I gathered my nerve, took a deep breath and fully dressed, jumped into the creek. The result was predictable: my boots instantly became waterlogged and dragged me down beneath the surface; I could barely move my legs and began floundering helplessly, rapidly getting panicky. Fortunately for me, Steve quickly understood the situation. As I failed about in the water, he leapt back into the creek and dragged me out safely on the other side. Ever since that day so many years ago when I almost drowned, I have had a healthy fear of any body of water more than three feet deep.
