Running in water.


Houston, Texas--When the starting gun sounded, Keith jumped into the water to begin his race. It was a long race, but he swam fast and was in second place.

Keith tired as he stroked for the finish. He swallowed a mouthful of water and began to panic and scream. His friend yelled for Keith to stand up.

Stand up? Keith's face turned red. He realized he was swimming in just two feet of water! He didn't win a ribbon, but he was able to run to the finish!
