I Do What I Want!

His legs were getting longer and longer and he had more stamina, which meant the boy could wander further and further from the den, much to his parents chagrin. Today he'd gone further south, padding through the fruit trees for some time before his progress was impeded, the way forward cut off by the largest body of water he'd ever seen! This wasn't like the little puddles he sometimes found in the orchard, little and sometimes smelly, this was a great big line of water cutting through the ground and flowing off to who knew where.
Scampering over to the waters edge Amos peered into the river, bright eyes widening to nearly double their normal size as he watched shimmering creatures swim through the water as it lazily went by. What were those?! They looked so cool, so pretty! Slowly he stepped into the water while still keeping eyes on the shiny creatures. The water closest to the shore lapping at the sand wasn't terribly deep, just halfway up his legs. He stood for a bit, watching the fish which he didn't know the name of as they swam all around him, carefully out of the pups reach, until getting distracted by a particularly massive butterfly and scrambling out of the water to race after it.
