Folks call the area a Lake, but it's more like a pond.  Small and unimportant looking, yet peaceful.  The dock is no prize winner either.  Narrow in width, boards broken with several down right missing all together!  No tree nearby, no canopy, nothing to shade oneself on a hot day while fishing.  The watering hole may look small in size, but it deceives the eyes.  The water is as deep as the heavens.  No man knows what lurks beyond the light in this Lake.

I love to play with my friends.  I have a lot to learn at this young age.  I hope to grow up kind.
I'm hungry. I'm sorry young boy. I have nothing to give you. All I have goes to my wife and kids. It's all right. I understand. What are you doing here? I have come to gather water from the lake, but I have misplaced my pail. Could you help me look for it? I'll try. Where should I check? I don't know, there aren't any trees which could be hiding it with their shade so it truly is a mystery to me. Maybe the monster wanted that? Monster? What monster are you talking about? The sea slug that guards this lake. Ha ha! That old fairy tale! You are truly a young lad for still believing in such things! Well, it's not a monster. But it's still real. There's a sea slug in there. My friend told me it winked at him. A winking sea slug! Oh my, your friend must have really been hallucinating from all this heat then.
