One day Tom was playing with his younger brother Paul beside the swimming pool near their home. Suddenly Tom fell into the pool. Paul was frightened. Their parents were not at home. Their father was working in the factory and their mother was helping a neighbour. Tom called his younger brother, Paul. Paul looked at the bottom of the pool and saw his brother standing in the water of the pool. Tom was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep. Paul was glad to see his brother safe in the swimming pool. Then he ran home and brought a long rope. He was only six and not very strong, so he could not pull Tom out. He was thinking hard and finally had a good idea. He tied one end of the rope to a tree and threw the other end to his brother in the pool. Then Tom climbed up the rope and got out of the pool. He thanked his brother first and went home to change his wet clothes
