Congratulations on breaking the records at the recent Olympics, Miss Green!
Thank you, Mr. Rarker.
Oh, look at those trophies! You became a swimming star at the age of fifteen, didn't you?
Yeah, you're right.
Could you tell me something about your plans for the future?
To tell you the truth, I'm going to give up swimming from now on.
I beg your pardon?
I mean I'd rather not swim at all. I'm too old to...
Excuse me, if I'm not wrong, you've only twenty now. Is it too old at twenty?
Yes, too old for a swimmer. If I swim in an international competition, I'll hardly be able to win.
But...er...don't you enjoy swimming?
Certainly, and I enjoy visiting other countries, and the Olympics are very exciting. However, I missed more important things. I had to work very hard at swimming. There was training before school, after school, and at weekends. While other girls were growing up, I was swimming, swimming. But life isn't merely swimming, is it?
