When I was a kid. I was afraid of water. However, my brother and sister loved water so much. Every time I got close to water, my body shook with fear.
However, I just couldn't stop shouting and crying. Finally, my parents said I could stay at home when my brother and sister learned how to swim.
Then, when I was ten, I spent my summer vacation with my grandparents in the countryside. I loved that horse, but there was one problem. Each day, I had to take it down to the river for a drink of water. But when I led it to the river, my old fear got the best of me. I went back and Grandpa said,
I'll take the horse to the river. "
The next morning after breakfast, Grandpa told me to wear a pair of shorts. He took me down towards the river. He said, "I'm going to teach you to swim. " He held my hand as we got close to the water.
