Devi looked through the observation window at the kids below, all waiting in line to get into the pool.
She turned to her mother with a furious frown on her face.“Mom,they’re all little kids! I’m 15 already! This is ridiculous!"
“I know, Devi,” replied her mother, “but you’re a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!"
Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her Grandfather’s farm, she hadn’t had time for lessons.The closest swimming pool Devi had been to was the alligator pool her mother bought her when she was five. Now that Devi was older, her mother had found a new job in the city,and Devi faced a new challenge-school field trips to the local pool.
The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be so difficult about swimming?Devi confidently slipped into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet.But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the water-the whole pool was one big deep end! Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and grabbed the ledge(池壁),out of breath.“I really can't swim! Everyone's going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself in a panic.
On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench, paralyzed with fear. She huddled with a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again.When she came home, her mother noticed right away that Devi was upset.“Honey, I’ve signed you up for Angela’s swimming lessons at the local pool. Soon you’ll learn how to swim just like everyone else,”she assured Devi showing photos of Angela with her prize-winning students.
