Dirty freezing water surrounds the brave man. The boy stares, worried that the man might die in the cold. The brave man has tiny shorts on. The crowd behind him is amazed that he is in ice cold water. There is rubbish in the liquid. The water is the colour of a black panther. The sticks in the water are pointing out like tigers claws. The man’s body is the colour of caramel. Although he is mighty and strong he is frustrated by the crowd. The small building behind the crowd has huge cracks in it. The building looks like it’s about to fall.
