You have no time to worry about how small you are now, as you climb onto a leaf to at least be a little dry. You then use your hands and begin to paddle through the water in an effort to direct the leaf across the seemingly large lake.
While it seems like you're managing to get to one side of the lake, the current is pushing you down another direction. You take a glance in that direction, and find the current is taking you into a large whirlpool of sorts. It might be a grate, it might be a drain, but you certainly do not want to end up swallowed inside.
