"Knot, what was it like to fly?"
"You know, Pebble, I can't say it was what I expected. Everyone talks about the freedom and the exhilaration, but no one mentions the cold wind. I was supposed to have a bird's eye view, but birds must have stronger eyes than I do. I couldn't see for all the tears in my eyes. On the whole, it was more trouble than it was worth."
A silence.
"Pebble, what was it like to swim?"
"You know, Knot, I can't say it was what I expected either. Everyone talks about the buoyancy and the ease, but no one mentions the first time water goes up your nose and how you splutter. I was supposed to look through clear, blue waters and witness beauty, but I could scarcely see what was in front of me. I got no serenity through all the noise in my ears. The water doesn't feel good in there either."
A silence.
"You can say that you liked it. There is no need to imitate me."
A silence.
"They were right about the buoyancy and the ease."

A satisfied silence.
"What shall we do tomorrow?”
