"Then let's not go in this room at all when there's not a grownup, how's that."

"Do you think you could catch me before I touched water if I did fall?"

" - do you think you'd be instantly injured by the water?"

"...I don't know."

"Then I guess we can just stay out of this room entirely."

"Okay. How soon can it be unpoisoned?"

"I can tell them to come soon."

"Good. I wanna learn to swim. If I don't already know."

Giggle. "Sounds like fun."

And he calls the pool company and attempts to persuade them that he wants the pool to be pure water no added substances.

They assume he is very stupid and explain to him as slowly and carefully as they can without actually insulting him that this will allow things to grow in it.

Yeah. Nonetheless.

And then, if things grow in the pool, there will be substances that are not water in it anyway, you see.

He would like the pool water replaced with plain water and then he will worry about the things growing in it.

And cleaning out the things will probably also involve chemicals.

Then they will get a lot of money out of doing what he's asking for here, won't they.

...okay. They can pump out his pool water and scrub the pool and run a hose into it.

He appreciates it.

And then Lintalai can go in!

She does not already know how to swim.

That's okay, they can teach her and hire an actual teacher if she's having a hard time.

She doesn't have a particularly hard time and is soon kicking her way around through the sunny part.

Her delighted parents will play in the pool with her.

Whee!

They can also go hiking with a tiny Lintalai on their shoulders!

That is much better than her having to walk! She can see all the things and not fall.

And she is so small and snuggly. They are very happy.
