Duck Lake Through the boughs of the garden

Amalia looked him over. He did look rail thin. How could someone just toss the child away like that. She shook her head, and moved boldly to the lake. Let us learn to fish today, Bear.

She stepped into the water, a small shudder lining her body as the cold water hit her with a rush.

It is cold you be careful.

She stared at the water and spoke softly. You want to watch for their shadows and always aim a little ahead of them. Water ripples change the way you see.

Then with careful aim and a quick movement, a fish was caught between her jaws and she scrunched it quickly the cold scales, leaving her tongue feeling rather strange. She tossed it towards the side of the lake, and looked for another. She hoped he would eat as she caught him more.
