Antaeus Dresel: The Man Who Could Not Swim

Once upon a time, there was a man named Antaeus Dresel who could not swim. This was a strange thing, because Antaeus Dresel lived in a small town on the coast of California, where swimming was as common as eating tacos.

Antaeus Dresel had tried to learn how to swim many times. He had taken lessons from the local YMCA, watched countless YouTube videos, and even hired a private tutor. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not seem to stay afloat.

One day, Antaeus Dresel was invited to a pool party. He was hesitant to go, because he knew that he would be the only one who could not swim. But his friends convinced him to come, promising that they would keep an eye on him.

When Antaeus Dresel arrived at the pool party, he was immediately self-conscious. Everyone else was swimming and splashing around, while he was stuck standing on the sidelines. He tried to make conversation with the other guests, but he could tell that they were all thinking the same thing: What is that guy doing here?

Eventually, Antaeus Dresel could not take it anymore. He walked over to the edge of the pool and took a deep breath. Then, he closed his eyes and jumped in.

To his surprise, Antaeus Dresel did not sink. He floated on the surface of the water, just like everyone else. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was surrounded by his friends, who were all cheering and laughing.

Antaeus Dresel had finally learned how to swim. And all it took was a little bit of encouragement from his friends.

Epilogue
