- A man and a woman are accused of witchcraft. To make sure that they are guilty, they are placed in the water to drown.
- They are not the only ones, however. Even innocent people are in the water in order to make sure that the trial is fair and the method of drowning works.
- However, <u>no one sinks</u>. And, if everyone swims, that should mean <u>everyone is guilty</u>.
