His friend watched with concern and asked him to come back. I told him that I had just seen some geese fall through the ice. "Where?" he asked.
"Over there." I pointed in the direction of a little island near where a creek enters the lake.
"It's strong here," he said, giving a little jump to prove his point.
"It'll be awfully cold if you fall through." I didn't know him so I didn't want to over-do the warnings; it could encourage bravado if he felt challenged. His friend urged him to come back to shore. He did. Both boys got on their bikes and rode off.
