You must stand frozen in place until the dry season. Puddles are dangerous!

People who do not encounter puddles have unrealistic ideas about their ability to survive even the smallest puddle. The dynamics of Coriolus forces may have deepened the puddle considerably, and you cannot see the undersurface currents that might lurk there waiting to doom the unwary.

Every year there are people living near puddles who disappear. Every year there are people found dead near puddles. Stay away!

Puddles as low spots have inevitably collected stuff and become a witches brew of everything noxious. Some people and animals think it is fun to add things to puddles without thinking of the consequences. You don't want to be the one who reaps that harvest!

Reckless small children have been seen unthinkingly splashing in puddles, and do we even know if they survived the splashing only to perish in agony elsewhere? Splashing in even the shallowest edge of a shallow puddle mixes its contents together, adds splash energy to the vile punch, and those unimaginable substances start interacting with one another to create who knows what!

I'll camp out and even starve to death before taking on a puddle. Anyone one who thinks from watching television or movies or playing video games that there are ways to get over, around, or through puddles has created a foolish, unrealistic scenario and just isn't thinking. Probably they are so inbred and drug-addled that they couldn't think if they wanted to. Just stay away!
