"That's fine,"said Harry."My little girl can swim a bit yet.Of course,she's only three…"
"I'm four,"the child said proudly."I'll be four and a half."
Harry turned to the mother."I remember your ticket,Madam,"he said."But you didn't get one for your daughter,did you?"
"Er,well…"the woman looked at the child."I mean…she hasn't started school yet.She's only four."
