Phew.

Amazing! You're so cool, Flynn!
I want to be as strong as you one day.

And you can be. In fact, when I was
your age, I was no big deal at all.

Really? Hehehe.

Don't be fooled, Karol.
When Flynn says “no big deal”, it doesn't mean
the same thing as when you or I say it.

Huh?

I'll never forget that summer when we were seven.
We went to play by the river, and he fell right in
and was swept away.

Oh, I remember that. The river's current
was so fast, I was sure I was a goner.

And then what happened?

When I finally caught up to him, I got quite a shock.
There he was, clinging for dear life to a merman!

...!

Fortunately, I was saved by a passing caravan.
Still, Hanks gave us quite a harsh scolding.

And when he finally let us go, this is all
Flynn had to say:

“I'm glad that didn't turn into a big deal.”
But it WAS a big deal!

Nah, I didn't even get to defeat the merman.
It ended up running away. No big deal at all.

Personally, when I fell into a river, I thought
that alone was pretty panic worthy! It was--

A big deal! A really big deal!
