beavers have the lifestyle that most children dream of. dig and travel through underwater canals. dam a river and flood the local woodlands. stomp mud into dam to seal. swim to flooded trees and destroy them. live in a secret hideout with a underwater entrance. full ownership over an engineering project

When I was a kid, during recess we discovered a leaky spigot that was creating like a constant mud puddle. Over the next couple of weeks, we started spending the entirety of recess making a dam. Damming what? Honestly nothing. Just building an increasingly giant wall of mud and sticks around that spigot. Other kids would gather around to watch or take part.
Eventually the teachers made us stop, but for a glorious two weeks, we were living that dream.
