The River
They stood where the ground gently curved down to meet the river. The river was a stark, bright blue.
“Do you think there are caimans?” Lila asked. Despite the sun overhead, she shivered.
In the long winter of Fred’s illness he’d read dozens of books about explorers venturing out into the wild armed with only a pith helmet and a penknife. He had a shelf-ful , all dog-eared and food-stained, and they had all dwelt, at great length, on caimans.
He decided to be honest. “Probably,” he said, but I don’t know how else we’re going to get water.”
“What are caimans?” asked Con.
“Alligators,” said Fred, “Like crocodiles. But with longer snouts.”
“But they’re smaller,” said Lila. “Probably.”
“Probably?” said Con. “Oh good.”
“The caimans like the sunny side of the bank,” said Lila. “And we’re in the shade here. So we’re probably fine.”
“Everything’s a risk here,” said Fred. “I’m going in.”

Every hair on his arms stood on edge as he scanned the bank. He pulled off his shirt, then put it back on again. It occurred to him that it needed washing as much as he did.
He slipped down the bank, his feet squelching in the mud, and dived in head first.
The river was a gift. It soothed the burn of his cuts and the ache in his feet. Fred trod water, then kicked downwards, below the surface where it was colder and sucked in a mouthful of water.
It had a tang of mud to it, and a strand of waterweed wrapped itself around his tongue, but at that moment it was the most delicious thing he had ever drunk – better than hot chocolate at Christmas or fresh lemonade in the summer. “Come in!” he called.
Lila plunged in after him, carrying Max on her shoulders. Con hesitated on the edge, her face stiff and anxious.
“We didn’t do swimming at school,” she said. “Only ballroom dancing.” She entered the water slowly and swam in a nervous doggie-paddle, her chin high above the water.

Fred rubbed his arms and legs, feeling his cuts sting as he scrubbed the dirt off them, then kicked below the surface again, his eyes open in the dark water. A shoal of miniature fish swam by, followed by a single, larger one. He came up for air.
“There’s fish!” he called.
“Try to catch one!” called Con.
Fred plunged down again. The small fish darted away as he grabbed at them. The larger fish ignored him completely, but there was something eerie in its shape – almost circular, like a swimming dinner plate.
The fish turned. It bared its teeth at him.
Fred sucked in a lungful of river water and shot, coughing, to the surface. “Piranhas!” he yelled. “Get out!”
Max was floating near him. Fred grabbed him and struck out for the bank, fear pounding through his limbs.
“What are piranhas?” Con asked.
“Fish with teeth!”

Lila shows she is worried about the threat of dangerous animals by asking if there might be caimans in the river. She ‘shivered’ even though it is sunny, suggesting her reaction is out of fear.
