That's the problem with random riddles. You're not expected to simply think. You are expected to view things as the developer. And the few people who figured it out on their own , instead of helping, will behave like holier-than-thou geniuses.My problem was that I was unable to interact with the pond. I had to restart the game. Of course it doesn't help that the hand "interaction" icons require you to comb the screen with your mouse pointer to be found, so I didn't think it was a glitch, I thought I either couldn't find the tiny icon once again or that it didn't exist and the solution was elsewhere.So, for those who are stuck: hold tab. The game won't tell you about this, but holding tab reveals clickable items. Not only the game will glitch and occasionally not show these icons until you reboot, but for this pond, you can ONLY interact with its icon by holding tab. It remains invisible without this trick...."think just a little bit to figure this out"... This isn't a fantasy riddle, this is a keyboard shortcut riddle. This game broke itself for difficulty.
