The boathouse is a very small building with peeling paint. It is made out of wood, with one half planted in the water on stilts. Inside, there are boats floating in the water. There are hinged doors which can be opened to allow boats to come in and out. There are some ropes and other tools a boater may need stored in the boathouse.

I am a child who is an expert on boats. I am trusted to know what I am doing. My father has punished me for not doing things right.
No problem sir Thank you child! I am fishing in the king's river to feed my grandchildren. They are about your age. that's nice , need a hand? Oh yes I would like that. And then maybe I can help you clean the boat you are cleaning. Do you work here at the Boathouse? yes,  i work here, and i won't mind an extra hand too Excellent! First let's tie up this boat so it doesn't float away. good idea, so why aren't your grandchildren here with you? My grandchildren are away at summer camp.Their mother does not like me to bring them here either because she says I am poaching on the king's river. But I am careful and I believe no one owns the river. hmmmm, so what if you get caught? I have only got caught a few times, and each time was able to talk my way out of it. I am very good at and have done it since I was about your age. This has made a better fisherman and I have lived a long time. You're pretty sure of yourself, I'll like to learn  somethings from you. We'll make a good team, I'm an excellent boats man myself Yes let's have a great adventure together!
