Rings tried to travel farther into the swamp. He wanted to leave as soon as possible. The rain made the mud covering his body more liquidy, and it felt uncomfortable walking around with it on his fur. He took another step, but there was a deep hole and his leg got stuck. He yanked his paw out as quickly as he could. He walked around the hole, stumbling over hidden rocks sometimes. At last, he saw a large rock with a flat top poking out of the mud. He scrambled his way to the top. Luckily, the rock was also shaded by a few large leaves. He laid down and started to sleep. He dreamed of a dry place, a better place. A sunny place with a wonderful lake. He knew there probably wasn't such a place, and decided to forget about it. His dreams were always better than his awake thoughts.
