I just read "Teddy" for the first time.  It was such a great story that I'm
going to have to reply to this post in my own opinion.
In the middle of the story, Teddy is speaking to Nicholson about why he
thinks it is foolish of people to be afraid of death:
	"For example, I have a swimming lesson in about five minutes.  I could go 
downstairs to the pool and there may not be any water in it...What might 
happen...I might walk up to the edge of it...and my sister might come up
and sort 	of push me in.  I could fracture my skull and die
instantaneously."
...maybe it's 'foolish' of me, but I never thought that it was his sister
that died;  I always felt that it was Teddy who died.  I'm intrested to
hear what people have to say concerning this.

This may sound simple but what is the signifigance of Teddy pushing
his sister into the pool?
