Many years ago, Snoopy taught a beginning swimming lesson for puppies. The course went on for two weeks, with the weekends off. On the second Thursday, he told the puppies about the test the next day for their first swimming badge, the sea horse, and the things they would have to be able to do to pass the test. The next morning, all the puppies were nervously wagging their tails while they waited for Snoopy to start the test. But Snoopy just began handing out the badges to each of them, praising them for how they had all already done the things they would have needed to do in the test.(Andrew Shields, #111Words, 5 May 2025, hat tip to Philippe Wampfler)
