| I Want to Swim |

| When will you teach me how to swim?” she asked. |
| I am afraid of drowning. |
| I am afraid of deep water. |
| I am afraid of going on boats. |
| I am afraid of flying in planes over the ocean. |
| I want to learn how to swim”. |
| “You don’t need to learn how to swim,” her husband said. |
| All you need to learn is how to float. |
| Floating is so easy. |
| It’s especially easy for women, |
| because women have more fat than men. |
| Let me give you a quick lesson. |
| To float, lie on your back. |
| Look up at the sky. |
| Spread your arms and legs. |
| Breathe normally. |
| That’s it. |
| “Yes, that sounds easy,” she said. |
| But I want to learn how to swim. |
| Swimming is good exercise. |
| Swimming will help me lose weight. |
| Floating will not help me lose weight. |
| If I float for a day, I won’t lose any weight at all. |
| Okay, he said. |
| I will teach you how to swim this weekend. |
| It will take only a couple of hours. |
| By Saturday night you will be able to swim like a fish. |
