I almost died
What? How did you almost die?
Yeah, I'm fine, I almost drowned in a lake. I swam out too far and got tangled in some kind of plant.
I'm so glad you're alright. You should try to be more careful if you're going to do something dangerous like that. Make sure someone goes with you at the very least.
Yeah, I learned my lesson.
That's good to hear! You'll enjoy the experience more by by being careful in natural aquatic environments, including rivers and oceans.
