Pick Your Path: A Day at the Beach

You run into the ocean and dive headfirst into the surf.  You swim as long and as hard as you can.  Then you tread water and look back to shore to see where all your friends are.  Everyone is pointing and waving at you frantically.  You wave back, feeling pretty proud of yourself.  Then you get the feeling that it’s not just because you swam so far that there is so much commotion.  You turn around, just in time to see a GIGANTIC wave coming right at you!  You frantically turn around and try to swim back to shore, but it is too late!  The water crashes over your head and pushes you under.  You tumble again and again under the wave, you can’t even tell which way is up anymore.  After what seems like forever, just when you think that you are definitely going to drown, you are washed up on shore. 

You can’t believe that you made it! Even though you cough up what seems like buckets of salty water, you have no broken bones or anything.  You feel so happy to be alive that you really don’t care about anything else.  But, as your friends come running up to you to see if you are ok, you realize that you have lost your swimsuit!

Total beach humiliation. The again, it’s better than being dead.
