Jimmy lived in the country, and he loved playing in a very shallow river near his house. It was no longer. When his father got a job in a big city, he moved to the city with his family.
Their new house has a garden, but the garden was very small. Jimmy was not very happy.
“Is there a river near here, Mom?” he asked his mother on the first morning.
His mother answered, “No, there isn’t, but there’s a beautiful park near here, Jimmy, and there’s a pool in it. We will go there this afternoon.”
Then Jimmy was happy.
After lunch, Jimmy and his mother went to the park. Jimmy wanted to walk near the pool, but there was a sign in front of him. His mother read it to him: “WARNING. The pool is dangerous, 367 people have fallen into the pool. “Jimmy looked into the pool carefully.
Then he said, “I can’t see them, Mom.”
