Jerry and Jenny were out on a hike in a very rocky part of the Whiteshell, and were taking frequent breaks to stop for refreshments and to catch their breath.  Neither of them had been on this trail before, so the sense of adventure was high. Who knows what they could find around the next corner! 

At one point, Jerry slowed down and said to Jenny, "I think I can hear water moving!".  They paused for a few seconds and tried to look between the thick trees to see if they were near a river or stream. 

Suddenly, Jenny began to laugh! "I've found the source of the water", she giggled, "it's strapped to your backpack in the flask!"
