“Well, you see,” said Jethro’s dad, “Jethro is not just
good at making a big splash. He can also make the
splash shoot this way or that. He can pick a target
and hit it within a foot or two. If you ask me, it’s an
art form. And that’s why I gave him the nickname
The Splash Artist .”
“Wait a minute!” I said. “Are you saying that if
you and I pick a target, he can jump in the pool and
make the splash hit the target?”
“Yep—as long as it’s in his splashing reach .”
“I would like to see that!” I said.
“Will do!” said Jethro. “Which bed do you want
me to hit, Dad?”
