As I neared the lake, I discovered many tracks converging with my trail.
I slowed, trying to peer ahead to the shores. Before me, I saw every
kind of animal drinking at the shores. Among the immense grazing beasts
were also a mighty bear, legless serpents, and even a small dragon
peacefully drinking from the lake beside the hare and the ram. But
everywhere I looked away from the lake, great beasts hunted and killed
the very ones they had joined with to sample the waters. And even the
hunting, I saw, was with respect, no with reverence. So, seeing no
better way, I went down to the shores.
