The events of the story revolve around the intelligent child Majid, the child who wanted his mother and father to teach him swimming so he would become a skilled swimmer. Indeed, his mother gave him advice and his father gave him instructions about swimming. Majid obeyed them until he was able to swim alone. He was very happy and proud of himself.

Beginning of the story:

Majid said to his mother while happy and holding her hand: “We’re on our way to go to the sea. I want you to teach me swimming, please, Mother.” His mother said to him: “Good, I’ll teach you swimming as you want.”

Swimming Instructions:

As soon as they reached the sea, his mother said to him: “Put your hands on the bottom and move your legs like a frog.” The process was very easy. Moving his legs according to his mother’s instructions pushed Majid forward, making him walk on his hands as if he were swimming. Majid repeated his first swimming exercise while very happy.

Another Swimming Exercise:

The next day, Majid went to the sea with his mother and father. When he went down to the sea, his father said to him: “Move your arms also like a frog while you’re swimming, Majid.” But it was difficult for Majid to move his legs and arms together in the sea at the same time, despite his repeated attempts to do so.

His mother said to him: “Go into the depth a little, Majid, and move your arms like a small puppy escaping.” Majid attempted again and again, but he didn’t succeed in raising his hands far from the safe sea sand.

Success of the Attempt:

While Majid was repeating the experiment, a large wave suddenly came quickly to the shore and lifted him high. Without Majid knowing what had happened or how, he began spontaneously moving his hands and legs and swimming.

His mother shouted: “Great, great, Majid! Continue, continue! You’re actually swimming!” She was extremely happy.

His father laughed happily too and began clapping strongly for Majid. The father got up from his place toward Majid, very happy with him, lifted him up, and began spinning with him, then hugged him to his chest, being very proud of him.

The Joy of Success:

Majid said in a loud voice, proud of himself: “Yes, yes, I’m swimming. I actually learned swimming and now I swim well. It’s true that I didn’t move my legs like a frog and didn’t move my arms like a puppy, but when I swam, I swam like myself and floated on the water.”
