Josh stepped to the edge (边缘) of the platform. This was the third time he had come up here, and for the third time he turned around and walked back to the ladder, afraid to make the dive from the high platform.
“I had made good dives at lower levels,” he thought. “Mr Barry, the teacher, had even said that if I didn't want to dive from that height, I didn't have to.”
Standing on the ground, Josh stared (盯着) up at that high dive platform. Suddenly, Mr Barry began walking toward him. “How are you doing, Josh?” he asked.
“I'm all right, Mr Barry. I just got a little frightened up there,” Josh said.
“Don't worry about it, Josh. You know, when I was young, I got scared up there too,” Mr Barry said.
“So how did you take the courage to dive from up there, Mr Barry?” Josh asked.
“I decided that I had to stop thinking about it. I just climbed up the ladder, ran to the end, closed my eyes and jumped off the board.”
Josh took a deep breath, turned around and started walking back to the ladder that led to the high dive platform. He knew it was something he would have to do. Even if it wasn't today, he would do it someday.
