Passing by one of the lakes, a movement out of the corner of his eye makes him give pause... along with the distant scream that accompanies it. Kicking up little piles of snow as he goes, the boy hurries toward the rim of the lake to help—
—and then when he sees what's actually happening, he stops in place after making it onto the ice and ends up erupting into a little burst of snorting giggles instead.]
