At first, the lake seems calm and quiet.

Then, you tune into the Chickenbone Symphony.

A dragonfly whizzes by - "zzzzzZZZZzzzzzZZZZzzzzz."

A beaver hard smacks its tail against the water - "SPLOOSH!"

A seagull flies overhead - "SQUAWK!"

You could spend all day listening and floating, listening and floating.

You notice the sun is high in the sky. It's time to move on.
