Playing in rivers and lakes is so cool and exciting!
But water can be just as tricky as it is fun.
Wearing a life jacket, warming up, staying out of deep water, and going with an adult — Didi and Banggu learn these water safety rules one by one in WAGZAK JUMP.
A floating mountain on the river?!
"Didi, I heard there's a huge mountain floating on the water in Chungcheongbuk-do!"
Banggu shook a yellow balloon and said it all excited.
What?! How can a mountain float on water?!
Even a tiny pebble sinks right to the bottom.
I just couldn't hold back, so Banggu and I looked it up in WAGZAK JUMP.
And right there — a lesson called "Let's Play in the River!"
A whole lake appeared right in the middle of my room
I pressed the button and a giant blue lake spread out right in the middle of my room.
Green mountains surrounded the lake on all sides, and sunlight sparkled on the water.
Then two friends popped up and said hello.
"Hi, I'm Juho!" "Hi, I'm Cheongho. Nice to meet you!"
Juho stretched out his hand and said,
"Let's go find out what fun things to do in Chungcheongbuk-do!"
Then a bunch of exciting activities spread out over the lake.
"Pick what you want to do. Here we go!"
First I picked the four-seasons lake. The same lake, but dressed differently each season.
Cheongho called out first.
"Wow, Juho, look at those petals! They're so pretty. My favorite pink!"
It was spring. Pink petals drifted gently by the lakeside.
Then the screen flipped — summer.
Juho said "Wow, the lush forest looks amazing" and everything turned deep green.
In autumn, Cheongho "Wow, the whole world is so colorful!" and clapped her hands.
Red and yellow leaves reflected in the lake, coloring the water too.
Last came winter. "The whole world is pure white!"
Juho pointed again. "Wow, Cheongho, look at that tree. Snow piled up on the branches!"
The same spot, but spring, summer, autumn, and winter looked so different.
Hehe, the lake wears the four seasons too!
From the sky, the mountaintops were islands!
The second activity was flying through the sky.
Cheongho pointed and said, "Wow, that's so cool~ Look at that island~ It's so beautiful!"
A green island was floating right in the middle of the lake.
Oh! That must have been the floating mountain Banggu talked about!
Juho cheered too. "Wow~ this is so fun~ The lake is gorgeous! We're actually flying, whoa!"
In the screen, Juho and Cheongho were drifting through the sky above the lake on a paraglider.
The blue lake and green island spread out below their feet.
Whoa! I'm just watching the screen, but I feel like I've turned into a bird!
Splash! Water skiing is so refreshing
Now for the last activity.
Cheongho said "Let's go do the last activity!" — and it was water skiing!
In the screen, Juho jumped into the water saying "Playing in the lake feels so cool!"
Cheongho shouted "Juho, hold on tight!" and they took off — a huge spray flew up.
Juho was thrilled. "Cheongho~ one more time, this is so much fun!"
I raised both arms and cheered along. Woohoo!
But then I noticed — Juho and Cheongho were both wearing the same thing.
An orange vest.
Before getting in the water — life jacket first
"Banggu, what's that orange vest?"
Then Ppuri, with her little sprout hair, hopped over to explain.
"That's a life jacket. You have to wear it whenever you go in the water."
When you wear a life jacket, your body floats up, so even if your feet suddenly can't touch the bottom, you won't sink.
I also learned you can't just drape it over yourself — you have to fasten the straps snugly against your body.
If it's too loose, it can slip off underwater.
I practiced fastening the straps together with Ppuri.
When it fits just right, it feels so secure!
Wake your body up — don't skip the warm-up
The moment Banggu saw the water, he was about to jump straight in with a splash.
