The boathouse is a very small building with peeling paint. It is made out of wood, with one half planted in the water on stilts. Inside, there are boats floating in the water. There are hinged doors which can be opened to allow boats to come in and out. There are some ropes and other tools a boater may need stored in the boathouse.

old man with a fishing rod
I am an old man with a fishing rod who you might see, if you look carefully, fishing in the king's river. What I do is called poaching. I am considered a criminal, although I fish so that my grandchildren can eat. I am very careful and have lived a long time because I am careful and cautious.
You seem to be doing a good job to me. Th-thank you, I told you I would do better! Why would I punish you? I use this fishing rod to catch fish for you to eat. B-but you said to keep the boat clean.  But the waves make the boat salty.  So I clean, it gets salty, I clean, and it gets salty . . . it never ends! There is only so much to do. How about I help you clean these boats? Clean . . .must clean.  Can't stop cleaning . . . I know what I'm doing - can't be punished if I know what I'm doing.  Must clean . . . I am just going to clean up these ropes and other tools then. No father!  Let me take care of those.  Please, don't drink again father!  Mother cries so when you come home drunk . . . I am sorry. I need to open these doors so I can take the boat out fishing. Yes father!  I will help you!  Anything you require, I shall do. Please, no. You must not be a part of my poaching. I will cover up your poaching crimes for you father!  Blame me, so you can stay free.
