It was so real to me I felt I could almost reach out and touch it. It was a blue lake and there were catfish swimming around the bottom just waiting f...r me to catch them.It was a great vision all right. Then I thought of how I could build a lake like what I imagined all by myself if Pa would let me. I went to him just a little afraid he would laugh at me or somehow belittle my great vision. Pa had never laughed or ridiculed me before, but you know how it is with a teenager."Pa, would you let me. I smiled at her through the smoke, thinking of Faith and the little girls at their tavern.
