Useful! Eventually she finishes the book.

"Do you want to read another or should I put them away?"

"I think I want to sleep now and see if I like it."

"Okay." She starts putting the books away. "There's a good spot to sleep on the island, wanna see?"

"What makes somewhere good to sleep?"

"It's comfortable to lie down on and out of view so people don't bother you while you're trying to sleep and it's shaded so you can sleep there even when it's day."

"I would like to see."

She finishes putting the books away and goes back to the river and swims to the island.

Swim swim swim.

She shows her the spot. It's a small dip in the earth, covered in moss and under the shade of a broad-leaved tree, just large enough for one adult to comfortably lie down in.

"This is a good place!" agrees Water, and she curls up in it.

Mileda smiles at her and then swims back out of the river and goes foraging.

Water naps, then sits up and peers at plants.

There are a variety of plants!

This will keep her occupied for a long while. She tastes one of the plants.

It is not especially tasty.

Oh well. Wander wander peer peer.

Mileda comes back with two seaweed-wrapped bundles.

"Hi! I think I will sleep sometimes."

"Okay. I brought food, if you want to eat again."

"I tasted a different plant but seaweed is better." She takes a package and bites it.

The package is seaweed-wrapped fish stuffed with a variety of edible forest plants like wild garlic and ground acorns.

"Oh there's not-seaweed in it! This is so tasty!"

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome! ...what did I do?"
