Everyone in Piddleville went swimming in Alistair Stanley’s above ground pool. So it broke. But it was a magic pool. When water spilled out it always filled up to the same level and temperature.
Leaking, it did its magic and fixed things. All of Piddleville then became Alistair Stanley’s pool. Everything filled up! What a legal to-do!
Today, Piddleville is a top destination for boaters. It’s a lovely, drowsy resort spot because the water is a nice, consistent temperature. People everywhere want to a swim in Alistair Stanley’s pool!
As for basements, there aren’t enough sump pumps to have those.

I love the last line.
Being a person who likes to swim in warm water, this sounds like the ideal fanciful resort to me.
Not my cup of tea I have a basement.
Thanks everyone. 🙂
Bizarre, wry, and amusing.
