Walking On Water

Keller paid a lot of money for Buck, a golden retriever. One morning Keller went duck hunting with Buck. Within ten minutes he shot a duck that fell into a pond.
Buck ran over the surface of the water, picked up the duck, returned running over the top of the water, and laid it at the feet of his master.
The rest of the morning every bird that fell into the pond when shot was retrieved by Buck running over the top of the water without even wetting his feet.
Around noon time Keller met a fisherman. While they chatted a duck flew by and Keller quickly sent it hurtling down into the middle of the pond.
Once again, Buck ran out over the top of the water, retrieved the duck, and brought it back.
"I just bought this dog yesterday and he cost me a lot of dough," said Keller.
"Well, they pulled a fast one on you," said the fisherman, "the dog can't even swim."
