The story 'The meeting pool' is an intersting story of three friends who take a pledge to return to their favourite pool after ten years . The best part of their childhood revolves round a pool , which was discovered by Rusty (the narrator of the story) and thus came to be known as Rusty's pool . As soon as Rusty discovered the pool near the ravine, he was excited to convey the news to his teo friends . The secret pool became their meeting point . They indulged in activities like fishing , swimming , wrestling and buffalo rides .
The pool not only symbolized the bond of friendship between them but also became a part of their consciousness . They decide to return on fifth of April 1964 at midday , i.e. ten years later to the pool again . Rusty keeps up his word and comes to the pool .
Rusty was the only one who went to the pool on the scheduled day . He was disappointed that his friends did not keep up their promise . However , there is no bitterness or rancour as he understands that with the passage of time , their needs and priorities might he hears the splashing of water . To his amazement , he discovers another pool and another group of friends splashing about in it . He imagines himself and his friends in their place . The story thus conveys the message that life goes on , come what may.
