The Pond

I have a pond in my backyard. In the middle of the pond is a whirlpool. Sometimes a duck will land in the pond, and before it figures it out, it gets sucked down into the whirlpool.

I haven’t gone swimming in there. Sometimes I sit on the edge and dangle my feet in the pond. I feel the suction want to pull me in. It adds a little bit of excitement to my day.
