Silver Creek your gonna sing the words wrong

It wasn't that self-deprication tried her patience, it just brought out the bluntness in her — which, to be frank, was never far from the surface. (Shreya was a very frank old lady.) So when the young female refused the compliment and instead stood miserably in the Creek like a pup without a bone, Shreya sat lightly on the bank. Yes, maybe you're terrible at this, she agreed logically. Or maybe you just got unlucky.

She could understand why the girl was frustrated, with a lung full of water and a paw full of failure, but no good would come from giving up. Why don't you try again. Look, there's another fish over there, see, she nodded upstream as the silver scales caught the light.
