Talking About Turtles

When they were ten, Rowdy and decided to go swimming in Turtle Lake. There's a legend about the lake and Junior is certain they shouldn't swim in it, but knows they will anyway. Near the lake is a huge pine tree and Rowdy suggests they climb it. Junior believes they'll die if they do and Rowdy agrees it's a possibility, but they set out to climb anyway. Junior says the top of the tree is at the bottom of the sky. The branches become thinner as they climb and the tree begins to sway. They talk about how pretty the view is from the top of that tree.
