The river that runs through this part of the forest is clear and cold and crystal blue.  Small fish dart about, and a few lazy insects flit back and forth above the riverbank.  Lush grass slopes up from the river itself.

I am a insect that eats other insects. I have a simple mind. I do not know how to jump because my parents never taught me.
Please do not eat me. If you spare me I'll give you information that will save your life today!  This better be worth my time, insect. Up ahead in the same direction you were headed just before stopping to eat me, there is a giant bear catching fish in the water, I can bite him and distract him giving you enough time to cross the river.  Thank you for helping me! I'd be no match for a mighty bear!  I will go distract him now, cross over quickly!  You saved me, kind insect! And to think I was going to gobble you up! I was hoping to work out a deal because I'm not very delicious and I may be poisonous for all I know. My parents never really told me what I was. What kind of fish are you anyways?  I am just a common carp. I usually eat smaller fish but insects are quite tasty to me too.  What about that bird over there in the water? Can you eat him too? Yes, I am not picky about what I eat. As long as it fits in my giant mouth.  Wow you just ate that whole bird without even chewing. I wouldn't have stood a chance. Did it even taste good? A bit too bony for my taste, but food is food.
