"this place is very moist." the monky said.

"yes, lots of bugs like to live here. they will bite you and it will not be fun. luckily, i have bought bug spray so if we get bit we can prevent itching." the girafe helpfully said. he had not bought bug spray.

"i'm glad. there's a lake in front of us. is this the lake that we need?" the monky asked.

"no, we will pass around the lake to avoid getting wet so we continue on. this blocks our path." the girafe responded. "it should take awhile."

"howdy ho, neighbors!" they heard from around the lake. they could not tell who the voice was from. the monky and girafe agreed in silence to check out who made the noise. they passed through an opening in the trees, and they met a gorila.

"hey friends, it seems like you need to go around this lake. i'll lend you my rowboat for 5 tokens." the gorila offered.

the monky whispered to the girafe, "should we take up the offer? i only have 2 tokens. do you have enough?"

"you seemed extremely malnourished earlier, and i have 7 tokens currently. i'll give 4 and you can give me 1 so we can pass." the girafe whispered back. "we'll give you these tokens." the girafe handed 5 tokens to the gorila.

"thank you kind sir. i should warn you though.." the gorila cautioned, "there is a dangerous man in those waters. he can harm travelers if they do not have enough protection. his name is moto-moto and he works for the spy from team fortess 2. i'd watch out if i were you."

"i'm sure we'll be fine. we're together, we should be able to defeat him IF he comes at us. and he probably won't." the girafe confidently said. the girafe got in the boat and the monky came after. they began rowing into the lake as the gorila waved them goodbye.
