The swimming hole is calm and clear.  The sun sparkles off the ripples that form on the surface of the water.  Fish occasionally jump from the water and splash back in.

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.
Why hello there. I surely have although it's been quite a bit of work. Do you know how to fish? I do not, my father was killed by the army long ago.  There there, do not cry. My father left me his boat and now I fish for a living. I could teach you how to fish if you would like. I would love to learn, I have always wanted to try it.  Would you please, sir? Here's my fishing rod. Hold it still while I attach the bait. The bait is very important as it lures the fish to the hook and allow you to catch it. Ew! What is that?! Oh my goodness I have never seen such an odd looking bug!  Do fish really like those things?? Calm down, it's okay....it's food for the fish and they LOVE it. After you lower the fishing rod, the fish will gobble it up and then we will pull the fish up. Oh! I sure hope they like the food.  How long does this take!? We've been waiting for hours it seems! That's because you're not focused. Stay still and stop jumping around like the fishes! Ugh, it's so hard to sit still, I have to make water! I'm so hungry too, I really hope we can catch a big juicy meal. Here, give me the the rod so I can catch a fish. Meanwhile, do you not have a treat you can eat? Oh, yes, I do!  Oops I am so clumsy sometimes, my mother always tell me that.  Please catch us a fish mister!
