Anyway-- Haha, well! I'm sure anyone who's ever met a teenager could guess where this is going. Private property with tons of lotuses, a bunch of hungry kids who want a nice snack... Needless to say, we made quite a bad habit of inviting ourselves into all of the nearby lakes to pick our fill! But one day, someone who was particularly upset with our thievery decided to set a horrible trap. Want to take a guess at what it was?
