The bright path is lined with roses, lavender, daisies, and lilies. Apple trees sit on a pristinely-manicured lawn. Hedges in geometric shapes sit just beyond the path. The path leads away from the castle and down to a pond full of fish and swans.

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.
And this is the most sincere compliment ever. What is it like to just spend your life swimming around in the same old pond? It gets really boring atimes. Let's make it more exciting! Can fish like you dance? No I cant...I can swim backwards though My! That's quite fantastic!  Yes it is. I love swimming in the river with the other fish. Mostly I spend my days looking for smaller fish to eat. You... You eat your own kind?! Yes. To survive here is hard. I'm sorry! I wish I could make it easier for you somehow! I will be fine. You far too find I try to be as kind to everything in the kingdom as I can!
