You say, Thomas, that he won't let you peddle--er--paddle?
gpt
But, Thomas, I cannot understand. I saw him teach you to paddle. He made you a small paddle himself.
human
Well, he won't let me.
gpt
Did John tell you why?
human
He just won't let me. He says I can't peddle all alone by myself till I c'n swim'n dive real good. I wanna peddle all alone by myself like them.
gpt
Well, Thomas, can you swim as well as Uncle John?
human
Sure, I c'n swim real good, mebbe not so good as Uncle Jack but-I wanna peddle all alone by myself.
