[Basilisk Lizard, Costa Rica]

This is Liz. She wants you to write a short funny story about her. The best and most creative entry will be posted here. Something about her to start with… she can walk on water.

From Kate:
Liz likes to water ski in her spare time, but she most enjoys fly fishing with her friends in the local pond. She has a best friend who is a newt named Tim who likes to swim below her as she walks over the water with her fly pole. Sometimes Tim likes to help her catch the flys she fishes for.
Thank you Kate!
