The wood used to make the dock is of highest quality, commissioned from trees that stand towering in the local forests. Despite time having passed it has been taken care of to the point where even a hint of warping from the water beneath will have a plank torn and replaced within a night.
Dock, Lake
pelican
fisherman
This kingdom is an island. Fishing is the main source of animal food here. I inherited my father's boat when he left the sea. It's hard work, and as a shipowner, working only for myself and my family, I am luckier than most. I've probably replaced every piece of my ship at least once.
[whistles a tune while walking along the dock] Back to catch more fish? woah! I didn't think i had drunk enough to imagine talking pelicans I only speak to those who have the greatest potential.  umm... ok. But I'm just a simple fisherman Oh, so you think. I have watched you for many days, arriving at the docks early with just a pole and some bait. well, I have to fish to feed my family. I can't afford to take days off That is what makes you so special. Though I have fished these waters for many and year I can not catch as many fish on the wing as you can catch with your rod. well, i'd be happy to share, but it would mean less for me and my family to live on I would not think of taking food from your family’s mouth, without making it worth your while. You're obviously getting to something. So what's your offer? Beneath this dock lives but a small numbe of fish, many of them not big at all. But only a few miles from shore are thousands of fish, bigger than any you have ever caught.
