Our car pulled to a stop at the beach. I got out and saw the blue sea. I shuddered (颤抖). Nothing scared me as much as water. Thirteen years earlier, I dropped into water and was nearly drowned at a city pool. Since then, I stayed away from water. Just then I heard shouting in Italian. That was a little boy out there in the sea! His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and he disappeared. I was the only one who was on the fastest way to reach the drowning boy.

Then I saw it—a thin arm waving weakly a few yards away. I tried to think of how I’d seen real swimmers do it. I threw my arms out in front of me one after the other. I reached the boy and caught his arms just as he went down below the surface. I pulled as hard as I could, and he popped back up, coughing, eyes wide with fear. Only one Italian word came to mind. “Riposo.” I told the boy. If he struggled, I’d never get him to safety. “Riposo.” I said again. He relaxed. I held him and fought to get us back to land. And I realized that I was no longer afraid. Not at all. I knew how terrified I got at the sight of water. Yet the disappearing of fear was absolutely amazing. 25.
