IIIBrrr! The water felt colder than it did before lunch Bobby thought, but he'd get used to it. After all, little boys adjust quickly to cool water when it means playtime. He loved this place, Lake Ti-ratty, or something like that dad called it, but what's in a name to a ten-year old? Funny how mom said to wait awhile before going back in the water after so big a lunch. That's a strange rule, Bobby thought, and what a lunch it was too! Hot dogs, fried chicken, potato salad, soda pop, ice-cream and watermelon. He and mom and dad ate a whole watermelon! .
Anyway, he felt real good and wanted to swim out to the ropes where those floating things were attached. “I can do it,” thought Bobby. He did it once with dad and now it was an adventure and adventures are what ten-year old boys must have,
