The Leech-Infested Pond

The boys discover a beaver pond and decide to swim in it to cool off. They soon realize the water is full of bloodsuckers. They frantically pull leeches off their bodies, and Gordon finds one attached to his testicles. Chris is unable to help, and Gordon has to remove it himself, causing it to burst. The experience is traumatic and leaves them shaken.
