One day when me and my brother were just kids we went swimming at my uncles house. I was just a little guy and I didn't know how to swim. This particular afternoon my parents were talking to my aunt and uncle and I took this opportunity to remove my cumbersome water wings ,and lower myself to the third step just deep enough. on the other end of the pool I saw my brother Joey jumping off the edge onto a big green alligator floating device. he did this several times and I finally decided the third step was not good enough anymore, I got out and I ran to the deep end and flung myself off the ledge landing perfectly square, straddling the Aliigator. Just kidding, in realty I missed the alligator by several feet . I was sinking rather quickly and had no way to surface , I was going to die. but out of nowhere I felt two hands on my waist as my brother hoists me out of the water . When I break the surface I realize my brotherwas lifting me over his submerged head in order to save me. this doesnt sound like a very heroic feat but for a six year old it was a death defying feat of bravery.
