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
seagull
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.
Yes Seagull I brought you a treat...don't I always? Did you here that? He brought us something! My favorite time of day is when you come back! Let me tie up and I will show you my haul. I'll wait right here. I can't wait to dig my beak in. I can smell it from here! Here we go...it was a good day...This basket is for you...enjoy! Oh! That is more than yesterday! You have outdone yourself today! Let me look at that foot that was bothering you Seagull.  Wait a minute...what is that...no wonder it was hurting...how did you get this rock stuck in it? I don't know. I do remember a little boy throwing things at me. He deserves a spanking that one does. I'd love to get the chance to bite that one. This rock is shiny seagull.  Oh...look how it shines in the evening sun...my goodness gull I think you found a gem....have you been on a pirate ship lately?  If this is what I think it is you have made us rich beyond our imagination!  That would be even more amazing that you being my friend! What kind do you think it is?! I like shiny things! It looks like an uncut diamond. We will have to see the assessor at the merchants square. Are you sure you weren't on a pirate ship? Hmm...Maybe I was. I did see a funny looking bird with a weird beak and colorful feathers. Do you think he was a pirate?
