"Mmm-mmm..." she groaned, wincing and pawing her front hoof on the fern surrounding her, trying to feel for something to support her as she attempted to stand. She pushed on a flat rock she found, but the smoothness of the water-beaten stone made her hoof slip, and her leg limply fell into the water once more. The rain was pouring by now; if she couldn't stand soon, she might drown. She began to panick and gritted her teeth, trying to push herself to her feet, but she could not.
