The game that I was best in was jumping the brook that ran below the school house in its widest place. I had managed to do this on several occasions. But, one day while I was midway over the brook, one of the big boys out on the other side yelled at me, and I jumped into the middle of the brook. Just then, the school bell rang and we all filed into the school house. I managed to get into my seat without the teacher seeing my condition. I never said a word about my mishap, so I sat in wet clothes the rest of the day. The teacher never discovered my plight. By the time I reached home, I was quite dried out.
