The Little Beaver That Could

Geoffrey was bored. He'd made all kinds of medicine, but there were only so many plant/insect/dirt combinations out there and the boy was quite certain he'd made them all. After medicine his attention had turned to building things. He'd dammed up a small creek and successfully (and accidentally) made a little pool to stomp around in. Geoffrey had then, in order to stake his claim and make it known that yes indeed, the pool was his creation, he'd built a little fence around it by shoving small sticks into the mud at its edge.
The boy left to get more sticks and by the time he came back the little pool had seeped passed its boundaries. The side furthest away from the creek was now a solid inch passed the line of sticks that had once marked its edge. "Aw man!" he huffed. Now he was going to have to take them all out and start over!

Geoffrey was so engrossed in fixing his fence that he didn't notice his packmate's approach. He'd been careful to work each stick into the mud so that it stood straight and tall, and that had come back to bite him in the butt. Removing them was liking playing tug o' war with the ground. Success was coming far too slowly for his liking.
Laisren's voice startled him and caused him to drop the stick he'd been holding. He snatched it up almost as soon as it hit the water and then turned to fix Laisren with a pitiful expression. "I made a pool and now it's running away." If he were being honest, he had no idea how to fix it. If he put a new fence around it the water would do as it had done the first time and simply ooze between the sticks.
