the fountain is the only thing you can hear in the graveyard. It's eerily quiet, not even a bird chirping. The fountain is teen feet high, and it is dry as a desert. It makes the graveyard more eerie than any other one.

I am a snake. Snakes are not regarded as important in the realm. I kill rodents and chickens.
Delicious tasty rat!  Eating you will make me fat! I am rabid! You will surely die after eating me! I can find you healthier food. I just run around trying to stay alive for one more day! If you let me I will get you food! A deal eh? What can I say?  I am willing to play!  Eating a dozen of your friends, that will be enough to make amends! I will not find my friends..... but I can find you rabbits and small kittens that chase me. If that is what pleases you I can go to the castle to make them chase me and you can lie in wait! Rabbit do have an excellent taste, by eating them they will not go to waste! First I have to find and eat a certain weed! The wizard said I would feel better if I could find it and it eat it quickly. Will you look for it and I will head to the castle to start finding the rabbits for you. Is this the weed of which you seek?  I hope it helps this little pipsqueak! Oh my word! That is it. I will live longer to help you find rabbits! I need to eat it now! Thank you! Eat well rat-friend, for do not delay!  We will soon have many rabbits to slay! I will keep you fat and satisified! I promise you that! Oh happy day, oh delicious meal!  Pure delight is what I feel! Off to the castle I go! And you will follow and lay in wait. There are many running around in the court yard.
