		Watch the video. How would you cross the puddle?
		
			
				
				- 
					 Hop around the side, who knows what's under there!?
                    
                    
				
 
				
				- 
					 No wake zone! Slow and steady wins the race.
                    
                    
				
 
				
				- 
					 Damn the torpedos, full steam ahead!
