"All the friends are playing by the lake. Only one of them, he doesn't want to get wet! So he's hiding in the reeds." Holden read the story and explained, then showed the page he was currently on. "I can't see him, can you?"

Nothing to be seen. "Anyway, apparently while his friends play, they splish with water and the reeds get wet. And, look!" He held the book under the water and, sure enough, the colours changed, revealing the cute thing in hiding - what was that supposed to be, a weird platypus? He had no idea. "Wow! There he is! Ah, but look, now he is playing with his friends, he realised water isn't so bad."
