"Look," I said, "I just came to ask -"

"I know who you are," she said. "And I know what you want. And the answer is no! I'm not going to have my river used to clean that filthy stable!"
"But -"

"Oh, save it, sea boy. You ocean-type gods always think you're soooo much more important than some little river, don't you? Well let me tell you, this naiad is not going to be pushed around just because your daddy is Posiedon. This is freshwater territory, mister. The last guy who asked me this favour - oh, he was better looking than you, by the way - he convinced me, and that was the worst mistake I've ever made! Do you have any idea what all that horse manure does to my echo-system? Do I look like I need a sewage treatment plant to you? My fish will die. I'll never get the muck out of my plants. I'll be sick for years. NO THANK YOU!"
