On the banks, the young girl has recovered herself somewhat by the time her parents arrive. Adults talk of the dangers of the lake and the underwater vegetation, and of the ecological necessity of restricting the parts that are kept clear for swimming, so that natural flora and fauna can thrive. Her parents admonish her to stay within their sight and within the designated safe areas, and she nods her agreement in tears and trepidation.
For her, it is a hard lesson learned that could have cost much more.
When the young man and young woman come, the girl's parents thank them effusively, offering rewards which both refuse, saying they were only glad to have been able to help.
Together, they talk with the girl and reassure her, being also mindful to obtain a promise to continue swimming, but stay within the safe areas.
