The river that runs through this part of the forest is clear and cold and crystal blue.  Small fish dart about, and a few lazy insects flit back and forth above the riverbank.  Lush grass slopes up from the river itself.

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.
Hey there bug Mind if I perch here? I'm waiting on my next meal to go to sleep. Sure, stay as long as you need.  Have you had lots of children this year? Yes. I have lots of littles swimming around. Sometimes I wonder if they remember me. Well, it's good for me, less competition. They love to eat the mosquitoes. That they do BZzzzz. You are safe here with me I should hope. I you ever tried to eat me, I'd just sting you with my poison. Yes I know. You just stay perched up there on the flower and I will stay down here so you do not get scared or worried. I couldn't ask for a more fulfilling life.
