Laura lived in a small village near the sea. One day she decided to go for a swim in the sea.

After a long time, Laura became very tired and she couldn’t swim any more. Her legs went down and she lost hope. Suddenly, her foot touched the sand! All the time she had been swimming in a place where the water wasn’t deep!
