Dizzy Diver
"Please can we go jump of the diving board first! Please!", said Adam. Adam and Robert are on summer vacation and we decided to take a trip to the pool. They always want to go on different things first. I mean always! But in the end Adam is always the one that gets to go where he wants to go first. Now, Robert wanted to go in the pool first and Adam wanted to jump of the very high diving bored first.

"Okay, fine said", exclaimed Robert, "we can go on the diving board first." But then, very quickly, Robert jumped in the pool just to get wet but he jumped right out. Lucky Adam wasn't watching when Robert did that.

"Yes! Thank you so much! Okay, let's go!", said Adam.

"Okay, let's go" said Robert in a quiet voice. As they walked to the pool you could tell that Robert was very nervous to go on the diving board. As he should have been because it was twenty feet high! When they got up to the top Adam wasn't scared at all so when the lifeguard said he could go he went. When it was Robert's turn he was so terrified of it.

He said to him self, "Here I go. I can do it."

"Okay buddy, you can go," exclaimed the life guard. When Robert got all the way out to the end of the board he shrieked! Then he got down on his knee's and peered over the edge of the board looking terrified.

"Are you okay?" said the lifeguard.

"Yes, I'm just fine," said Robert. When he looked down he saw that Adam was waiting for him by the edge of the pool.

"Come on. You can do it!" said Adam. "Don't be scared, it takes a lot of courage to jump, but you have it," said Adam. Robert took Adam's advice and stood up. Then it took a little time but Robert finally jumped. When he saw Adam, Adam was very proud of him because he knew how hard it was to have the courage to jump. Now Robert loved jumping off of the diving board it was his favorite thing to do at the pool. All day they had so much fun jumping and splashing in the pool. It just took him one jump to get use to the feeling of jumping off the diving board. Now whenever Adam and Robert go to the pool the first thing they do is jump off the diving board.
