A short story

She was on the beach with her father, and he asked her to go and see what the temperature of the water was like. She was 5 years old and glad to be able to help. She went to the water's edge and dipped her toe.

"I put my feet in and it's cold, " she told him

Her father picked her up and carried her down to the water again, and without warning threw her in. She was shocked at first and then laughed out loud at the trick he played.

"How's the water?" asked her father.

"It's Lovely!" she replied.

"Right! From now on, whenever you want to find an out about something, plunge straight in".
