The secret oasis is a gleaming pool of pure water, surrounded by a smattering of green shrubbery and palm trees. Exotic insects fly about, and the sparse amounts of local fauna mull around after traveling for miles to drink and rest. The greenery sits in stark contrast to the vast desert surrounding it.
Secret Oasis, Desert

a wise-looking turtle
I am a turtle that lives in a bog. I spend my days leisurely. When the knights stampede through on their horses, I fortunately have a good hiding place.
Why insect you look mighty tasty. Would you come closer so that I can hear you better? You know, my parents didn't teach me how to jump but they did teach me about hungry turtles. You look like what is on the menu! I would only like to lick you, that is all. I want to know what you taste like.  There are many things for you to link in this Oasis, but I am not one of them.  How about I flip a coin... Heads i win, tails you lose and I get a nice snack! If i win I get to ride on your back and you must protect me from other "wise" turtles, deal? What is in it for me? There will be no riding on anyone's back! You get to lick me if you win. Agree on this.... heads I win and tails you lose and i will flip the coin Flip away my flippered friend. Flipping coin..... Heads I win and you now are on the menu. I will now take you in my mouth and chew slowly and swallow you Catch me if you can turtle
