THE WATER
I was 7 and in summer the whole family used to spend the day at the village pools. I was really afraid of deep water, so I always swam in the small pool, where the water came up to my knee. One day I wanted to open my eyes underwater while snorkelling, because my brothers and cousins did it. But when I tried I thought that the water would hurt my eyes and could not separate the eyelids.
