This narrative begins with a young man asking Socrates to reveal the secret to success, prompting Socrates to instruct him to meet by the river the following morning. The climax of the story occurs when Socrates suddenly pushes the young man’s head underwater, forcefully keeping him submerged until the young man is gasping for air. Upon releasing him, Socrates asks what the young man desired most while under the water, and when the young man replies “Air,” Socrates reveals his lesson: success requires the same intense desire as the young man had for air. The storyboard details the visuals and sparse dialogue for each scene of this powerful instructional moment.
