1. Benny liked running around in the water because it was messy fun, and he enjoyed surfing the runoff with his boogie board.
2. He found a large puddle along the driveway perimeter, then discovered a ditch at the lowest part of his yard that had pooled into an ankle-deep pond, and finally encountered the city’s canals fed by runoff from streets.
3. Benny decided to skate across the rushing water in the canal because he was a thrill-seeker and couldn’t resist the temptation, despite knowing it was risky.
4. He ended up fully submerged in the filthy canal water, which contained fertilizers, animal waste, yard clippings, and trash, leading him to regret his decision immediately.
5. Benny got sick a couple of days later with a rash and bad illness because he had accidentally gulped some of the dirty, contaminated canal water while splashing down.
