Stingray was walking with his best friend Mr. Bubbles on the grassy side of the stream.
Mr. Bubbles was a turtle. Specifically, he was a seven-and-a-half foot tall turtle with chunky legs that he stood up on like a bear, only Mr. Bubbles never dropped back down to the ground. That wasn't his only bear-like quality. No doubt inspired by a young black bear Ray had observed foraging the other day, Mr. Bubbles also had small, round ears atop his scaly turtle head and a little nubby bear tail that wiggled whenever Ray said something funny.
Mr. Bubbles was not green like normal turtles, but a rosy shade of pink with a flat, dark blue shell. His eyes were bright yellow. He smiled a lot and usually agreed with everything Ray said. He had tried to introduce Mr. Bubbles to his ma and da, but Mr. Bubbles was incredibly shy and turned invisible when anyone was around.
The puppy looked up at Mr. Bubbles, stumping along behind him on his two back legs with his flipper hands hanging relaxed at his side, and said,
Mr. Bubbles paused in thought for a second, then suggested they go toss rocks in the stream. Ray didn't want to do that, so the turtle suggested chasing the little running birds in the nearby field instead, which Ray happily agreed to. They spent the rest of the afternoon chasing birds until Ray was too tired to continue.
