As a kid I had heard that song 'there's a hole in the bottom of the ocean, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea.' I had also been read that 'Cinese Brothers' story about the boy who could swallow the whole ocean. So the two got linked in my mind.
After that, I thought if I went swimming I would get sucked into the hole. Even though we lived near the beach, I refused to even stick a toe in the water for years after that.
