There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. There once was a very large lake here, the largest lake in Texas. That was over a hundred years ago. Now it is just a dry, flat wasteland.
There used to be a town of Green Lake as well. The town shriveled and dried up along with the lake, and the people who lived there.
During the summer the daytime temperature hovers around ninety-five degrees in the shade-if আপনি can find any shade. There’s not much shade in a big dry lake.
The only trees are two old oaks on the eastern edge of the “lake.” A hammock is stretched between the two trees, and a log কেবিন stands behind that.
The campers are forbidden to lie in the hammock. It belongs to the Warden. The Warden owns the shade.
Out on the lake, rattlesnakes and scorpions find shade under rocks and in the holes dug দ্বারা the campers.

Here's a good rule to remember about rattlesnakes and scorpions: If আপনি don't bother them, they won't bother you.
Usually.
Being bitten দ্বারা a বৃশ্চিক অথবা even a rattlesnake is not the worst thing that can happen to you. আপনি won't die.
Usually.
Sometimes a camper will try to be bitten দ্বারা a scorpion, অথবা even a small rattlesnake. Then he will get to spend a দিন অথবা two recovering in his tent, instead of having to dig a hole out on the lake.
But আপনি don't want to be bitten দ্বারা a yellow-spotted lizard.
That's the worst thing that can happen to you. Ypu will die a slow and painful death.
Always.
If আপনি get bitten দ্বারা a yellow-dotted lizard, আপনি might as well go into the shade of the oak trees and lie in the hammock.
There is nothing anyone can do to আপনি anymore.
