It was summer. Swim classes were beginning. He didn’t know how to swim. He wanted to learn. He called up the pool. "Do you teach adults how to swim?" he asked. The instructor said, "Yes, we teach adults how to swim. We teach kids how to swim. We teach everyone how to swim." He asked how much. "How much do you charge?" he asked. "We charge only $25 for adults," the instructor said. He gave him his name. He put his name on the swim class list. "You are on the swim class list," he said. "Your first lesson is Saturday at noon. Bring $25 and a towel." He asked, "That’s all I need to bring?" He said, "I’m sorry. Bring your swimsuit, too."
