LEARNING TO SKATE Several years ago I was watching graceful figures glide easily over the glassy surface of a pond. There and then I decided, 'This is the sport for me, safe, easy on the muscles.W Then I made the fatal mistake: I bought a pair of ice skates. The next day I summoned courage and decided to try them. Approaching the ice carefully, I took a tentative step outward. Bang! I went down for a count. nHmmm, something wrong here,n I muttered to myself. nPretend you're waltzingg it's easy,n called one of those nearby misleading souls to me. I got up and started off. 'La, da, dag la, da, da, say this is easy, but wait, my feet are going far- ther and farther apart.n Bumpg Sitting lightly on my sacroileac in the middle of the pond I thought, nNot quite as easy as I had expected. Maybe I'd better try a new method.n I got up. Bump! oh, oh, oh! HI guess I'd better call a short recess,' was my next thought, nsay ten or twenty yearsln But have you ever tried to get off the middle of a pond on ice skates? That small expance of ice seemed to grow and grow until it made the Atlantic Ocean look like a mud puddle. nOh well, here goes,n I crawled, I slithered, I squirmed. I was soaked to the skin: it seems ice is a lot wetter than it locks. Ten yards to land,--dry, unslippery land. A short spurt should do it. But no, nHe1pu Splash! nOh well, does anybody want to but a pair of ice skates?n Preston Ripley Grade 8 15
