who ever came up with the saying,"what you dont know,doesnt kill you",had better done a good research before a million and more lifes would be lost from ignorance.
I recall the first day i nearly died from drawning in a pool.It was my high school's annual sports festival and we where invited to the National stadium for a match parade.I had gone out with my friends to check out the olympic swimming pool.There,it was kind of empty cuz we was amongst the first to make it and the other schools where lesser in number.Was my first time been close to a live size pool and the excitement was realy eating up my sixth sense.I noticed some kids hanging on to the far ends of the tice and though they where just there to rest from excess swimming,and ther was this kid looking directly at me in the middle of the pool with a miscievious smile;'you sure cant jump in'!-worst still, was him giving me the looser sign.Boy,did that brake all the brakes in my reasoning,cuz next thing i was half in my birthday suit-running and flying in the air like a proffessional swimmer.I really made a neat impact with the water and it did bring me back to the surface for a novice....But just as cought sight of the prankstar,i noticed i was slowly going down and could barely find my footing.As the water moved from my chest level to my chin,in a slit of a second i could fell the a sudden pain in my hearth and the whole world moved too fast and all i saw around was scenes of my mischieves,i almost screamed forgive me lord.
The trueth was,i did sink and yes i was struggeling for balance and almost ended at the 12ft hottem,infact i had giving up hope of surviving hand not this fellow's had(i had imagined it to be God's)pulled me back to surface and swam me to sure.That was the last thing i remembered till the next day.

So tell me,how does what you dont know not kill you?

going to be honest, half of that made zero sense. maybe it was symbolism to how ignorance and misspelling can be deadly when people misunderstand and think you want euthanized. if so, good story.

@mic1: Hello mic, nice meeting you. You wrote it in English so I did understand the concepts you were developing in your story. I know the mobile typing can be crazy and you did good considering :) Anyhow, there were a few mistakes you made that if done differently could have drastically changed the situation. But most importantly, what we dont know should not always be told to us. We must also judge things for ourselves because people do not always have our best interests in mind and heart.
