Daniel: Hurry up! Mom, I can't wait any more.
Mom: Look out, honey. Let's come to the shoal waters. Follow me!
Daniel: OK, Mom. Can I swim now? I want to learn butterfly stroke.
Mom: Honey, listen to me. First, you should learn how to breathe in and breathe out.
Daniel: Yes, gotcha. It seems so easy. It's my turn to show off.
(Daniel tries for some time but he fails.)
Daniel: Mom, it's so terrible. Water went down into my throat and I almost got drowned.
Mom: Do be patient, Honey. Let's do it slowly and correctly.
Daniel: Oh, Mom, I think I'm not the right person for swimming.
Mom: Come on, sweetie, you've done very well. It is the first step that is tough.
Daniel: Right, I'll make up my mind. Please correct me if any of my movements go wrong.
Mom: Yes, well done. That's the way to go. How clever you are! You've got it.
Daniel: Really? I can't believe it. Everything is possible to a willing heart.
Mom: Exactly, next, you should hold your legs together and extend your arms above your head.
(Daniel does it as Shirley tells him.)
Mom: OK, here we go. Then, kick your legs up and down together in a whipping motion generating from the hips and bending at the knees, as if you were a dolphin.
Daniel: Yes, like a dolphin. Am I on the right track?
Mom: That's the way to go. Now, you are flying, my boy.
