Once upon a time, there was a big event for all the best divers in the world. The diving competition was going to be held in a huge swimming pool filled with crystal clear water. The athletes were all set to show off their skills and compete for the gold medal.
On the day of the competition, all the athletes lined up at the edge of the pool. One by one, they took their dive. Everyone was doing great until one athlete, named Stroke, took his dive. Instead of doing a fancy flip or twist, Stroke ended up splashing into the water like a rock.
Everyone started laughing, but Stroke wasn't discouraged. He got back up, took a deep breath and tried again. This time, he did a perfect dive! The audience erupted in applause, and Stroke was awarded a bronze medal at the ceremony later that day.
From that day on, Stroke became known as the funniest diver in competition, always making everyone laugh with his silly dives. And even though he never won a gold medal, he was still an inspiration to all the young athletes who wanted to have fun while competing. The end.
