There is a person who can’t swim. He turns to a sailor for advice, and asks the sailor to teach him swimming.
The sailor tells him that swimming is a very simple matter. He’ll very quickly be able to learn it.
This person follows the sailor and arrives at the seaside.
On the beach, seeing the vast sea, the sailor excitedly rushes into the wave.
But the person that can’t swim still sits on the beach, without any movement.
The sailor shouts at him: “Come. Come over quickly. Don’t you want to learn swimming?”
That person says: “You haven’t taught me how to swim yet. How can I get to the sea? This is too dangerous. Only when I have already learned swimming, then I can get into water.”
Later on, this person never learns how to swim.
