A person (Papa Jake) attempts to rescue a toy robot (BB-8) from a pool using various homemade contraptions to "walk on water." He tries using "water walking shoes" made from boxes, homemade water skis with a bungee cord, and floating lily pads. Although the first two methods fail, the floating lily pads work, allowing his friend (Logan) to run across the pool and almost reach the toy robot.
Here are the extracted facts:
1. Someone named BB-8 is in the pool and cannot swim.
2. The pool water is very cold.
3. Papa Jake and Logan are trying to come up with a plan to rescue BB-8.
4. Papa Jake has an idea to use boxes to make "water walking shoes".
5. They plan to use the boxes to walk across the pool and rescue BB-8.
6. They also have a backup plan to use homemade water skis made out of cardboard and noodles.
7. They use a bungee cord to launch themselves across the water.
8. They test out the water shoes, but they don't work as well as they had hoped.
9. They then test out the water skis, but they also don't work as well as they had hoped.
10. They set up a series of "lily pads" (floating platforms) across the pool and have Logan run across them.
11. Logan is able to make it almost halfway across the pool using the lily pads.
12. The lily pads work the best out of all the methods they tried.
