The swimming hole is calm and clear.  The sun sparkles off the ripples that form on the surface of the water.  Fish occasionally jump from the water and splash back in.

This kingdom is an island. Fishing is the main source of animal food here. I inherited my father's boat when he left the sea. It's hard work, and as a shipowner, working only for myself and my family, I am luckier than most. I've probably replaced every piece of my ship at least once.
Child, calm down! You are scaring away my catch! -runs around and screams- I LIKE WATER Yes, child.  We all like water, but I also like to eat!  Come here, let me teach you. You mean I can learn to fish? Anyone can learn, but few can master.  Come here and sit still, let me fashion you a rod. Alright, as long as I can catch fish. We will see if you can, it takes patience, child.  Here, take this rod, first I will show you how to bait the hook. I am watching. You do it like this, take the cricket and stick him to the hook like so.  Do you think you can do that? I do believe so, I will try it now. Good job!  Now we toss the hook out into the water and wait for something to grab onto it.  Sit still and concentrate, child. So I just sit here and wait like this?
