Bob was born June 30, 1985. The exact date Michael Phelps was born. Bob was always enthusiastic about swimming, until the day he saw Michael swim. Bob was 10 when he saw the way Michael swam, his life was changed for ever. Bob was 130% from that point on. He would swim every chance he got. He would swim in the pool, in the tub, in the lake, in the hut tub, he even tried to swim in a toilet once, That was the day he lost his foot.
Once he lost his foot he was even more determined, though he never tried to swim in a toilet after that. He swam in his Hot Tub more then ever. It was one of the ones that had a constant stream pushing you back as you swam. He became faster than ever! His routine was, eat sleep, put on plastic foot, swim, every day.
One day his friend Nicky Blazing called him up.
"Hey man, wanna chill?" Nicky asked him. Thinking that he deserved a day off Bob replied,
"Sure, why not?" and so he chilled with Nicky.
Once he was at Nicky's house they went up to Nicky's room. Nicky took out a paper rolled up, lit it and took a big inhale. Then offered it to Bob. Bob didn't know what to do. He asked,
"Is it safe? I don't want to do anything stupid."
"Absolutely man, it doesn't hurt."
So Nicky took it and Inhaled. Soon he was feeling like nothing could hurt him. He ran around town eating everything.
Bob went home, he decided to go swim. He got into the hot tub and turned on the jet. Still feeling weird he stuck his hand into the source of the current. It got caught, so he stuck the other one in to get it out. Thats how Bob lost both his hands. Bob never spoke to Nicky again.
Everyone said Bob should give up swimming, but he didn't. He tried harder.
On Bobs 16th birthday he was going to try out for the Olympics. Bob called his friend Al Cohalic to get a ride. Al agreed and picked Bob up. Little did bob know Al was drunk. Al started to swerve about half way to the tryouts, and then he ran a stop sign. Thats all Bob remembers from the ride there. It was also how he lost his other foot and all the stubs he had.
Now after only 2 stupid mistakes in his life, Bob was nothing but a waist and a torso. He still didn't give up on swimming.
Bobs 24th birthday came, and over the past 8 years he has worked on a device. It was 2 bottles of extremely fizzy soda tied to his chest. He had his mom drive him to the Olympic tryouts.
"Swimmers ready! Take your mark! GO!"
Bob entered the water, and did a series of blurred movements and then all the fizz came out of his bottles, setting a new record Bob finished his swimming event. When Bob managed to get out of the water Michael Phelps, whom at last Olympics won several gold medals, congratulated Bob.

Bob was 10 when he saw the way Michael swam, his life was changed for ever.


If they were born on the same date, how could Bob be 10?
