noon
`` And having said a whole cargo of words yourself Tayoga , now what do you propose that we do ? '' `` Push on with all our strength for the caves . I know now we are on the right path , because I recall the country through which we are passing . At noon we will reach a small lake , in which the fish are so numerous that there is not room for them all at the same time in the water . They have to take turns in getting the air above the surface on top of the others . For that reason the fish of this lake are different from all other fish . They will live a full hour on the bank after they are caught . ''
