The beautiful lake glistens in the sun as water can be seen in all directions. you can see several feet beneath the water because it is so clear.

I am a turtle in the King's moat. I am a snapping turtle. I snap at everyone who crosses the moat. I do not like the people who come to the castle.
Oh nothing much Beaves, I just like swimming around this Lake. You're not going to dam it up are you? Well dude, if I don't keep working the water will leak out. I don't know much about water, honestly, for having lived in it so long. I'd offer to help you build a dam but I'd just screw it up. The missus and me are able to manage but thanks. Besides, the kiddos will be able to help come Summer time. Do you have much trouble with hunters? Not since Grizz and his family moved into the area. I saw him scare the pee pee out of a pair of trappers and that was almost a month ago. Good, good. Maybe someday we'll take over the castle! And then the kingdom! That's some bold talk coming from a turtle Soupy… Have you been eating those weird mushrooms again? Does my shell look pink and purple to you? It does in the reflection on the water...... Yes now that you mention it… and who's that coming out of your forehead? Are you growing horns? (giggling to himself) No, what! Am I?? Please, tell me it's not true! (cracks up laughing) I'm sorry lil dude. I couldn't resist. Every time you so trippin' on shrooms I'm gonna screw with you a bit. But I promise you it's barely noticeable. Just tiny little horns. (giggles again)
