After hearing my grandpa’s suggestion, I watched Jane until she was near the pool. I then pushed her into the pool. She was good at swimming and didn’t get hurt.
Soon after that year, Grandpa moved from Ohio to Florida, so I didn’t see him much before he died (去世) when I was 11 years old. I will never forget the lesson my grandpa taught me during the short time we spent together. When someone or something is pushing you in a wrong way, push back!
