The water is murky and dark. There are unknown dangers lurking in it, such as alligators and poisonous snakes. Plants and trees hide more dangerous animals. It is cold.
Murky water, Swamp

parent
I am a warm and loving parent. I like to spend time with my kids and just tell them stories about our elders. I dislike it  when they misbehave.
Stay close child, this place is dangerous.  Here, hang onto my hand! But I love animals! Are they bad for you? Some are, but these animals are not to be trusted.  Do not stray child, for unknown dangers lurk in these muddied waters! Yikes, can you help me out of the water? I got a rope on me, will that help? Let us fashion a vest I may carry you in to keep you above the waters.  I have a knife we can use to cut the rope.  We must be quick, there is an alligator afoot.  Our elders used to hunt these beasts but we do not have that luxury today! I've attached the rope to my belt but I'm being too heavy with this crystal ball so I'm going to drop it Quick, let us make haste towards the East.  The elders spoke of a clearing in the swamp where a mystical being may be found. Ok, I'll follow you since you're the parent and I trust you! We must keep our eyes peeled for the poisonous snakes also!  I think I see an clearing up ahead! Thank god! Do you have a spare jacket? It's cold.. I do not but you may have my dress. Anything to keep my child warm! I'm getting tired....are we clear from danger yet?
