Donald, Leonard, and Ronald were all sitting together at a local coffee shop, catching up on old times. Leonard, who had always been known for his wit and humor, decided to break the silence.

Leonard: "Hey guys, can you swim?"

Donald: "Of course, I can. Why, do you want me to prove it to you?"

Leonard: "No, no, no. I just wanted to make sure you were ready for our upcoming beach trip."

Ronald: "Wait, we're going to the beach? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Leonard: "Relax, Ronald. It was just a hypothetical question."

Donald: "Well, hypothetically, I'm a pretty good swimmer. But what about you, Leonard? Can you swim?"

Leonard: "Oh yeah, I can swim like a fish. In fact, I once won a goldfish at the fair by swimming across a kiddie pool."

Donald and Ronald looked at Leonard with disbelief.

Ronald: "Seriously?"

Leonard: "No, not seriously. I can swim, but I'm not that good. The only thing I've ever won at the fair was a stuffed animal."

Donald: "Well, at least you're honest. What about you, Ronald? Can you swim?"

Ronald: "Um, yeah, I can swim. But I wouldn't call myself a pro."

Leonard: "That's okay. As long as we don't drown, we'll be fine."

Donald: "Don't worry, guys. I've got your backs. I'll be the lifeguard for the day."

Ronald: "You mean you'll be the one sitting on the beach, watching us swim?"

Donald: "Exactly."

The three friends laughed and continued their conversation, excited for their upcoming beach trip. As for their swimming skills, only time would tell.
