More recently I remember the years when that same creek ran bone dry. How could it be possible for a flourishing water supply to shrivel up and die? Today 's world is filled with conflict, often small discrepancies blown out…

While I was there, I went out sightseeing and fully enjoyed myself. While out, I went to the breat bonito to see all the beautiful sceneries and I saw a lake full of different kind of fishes in the lake which got me flabbergasted because I’d never seen beautiful creatures like that before.

I looked back down at Glendale lake and saw a bundle of small gray fish swimming through the…
