This is a grassy area that surrounds much of the swamp.  It's a plain field with some trees nearby along with some rocks.

I love swimming in the river with the other fish. Mostly I spend my days looking for smaller fish to eat. When people cast lines into the river, we all swim away from them and hide. Sometimes one of the other fish gets confused and bites down on the lures.
I am hanging out with my school. We are just swimming around and having fun. Hey! You are a big guy! Ah, school? That sounds fun. And heh. Compared to you I guess. My shell makes me look larger than I am. Yeah! That looks pretty neat! Can you hide under that thing?  I hide under it all the time. Sometimes I'm sleeping. Other times I'm hiding from other creatures for safety reasons. Cool! We have to hide behind the rocks and things. Hey! I could hide behind you. That is a great idea!  Heh. If you want to. Do you guys travel through this side of the water often? Yes, but mostly in groups as it can be dangerous. The otters live down over that way and they don't like us. We also have to watch out for these lines that hang in the water and kill us! One took my Uncle Ralph last week...right in the mouth. You're not lying. I've seen your kind get yanked up by lines. I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle Ralph. That's terrible. I wish we had some sort of regulations in the sea to help us underwater creatures out. Thank you. Yes, we need some regulation. Do you have family? Just my Dad. I help him out. He's 84 years old now. I wish I had more family here. Oh, that is so nice. 84 is great! My wife Martha can whip up a great dinner for you and your dad. We will have to have you over. You can meet the whole family. It can get lonely in the bank. That would be lovely. It really does get lonely. Especially at night. I would love to meet your family.
