" The fish aren't gonna come to me. I'm gonna go to them. Hand me that mosquito screen. Well. As luck would have it, in this part of the Amazon jungle or at least this area of this river, there are no mosquitos. But that means, I don't really need this net for mosquitos now, do I? So, I don't know about you, but for me, that looks like a perfect fish trap."

" [unk]"

" There you go. Got a little grip handle here. I got myself a fishing net."

" Unfortunately, going to the fish means heading into the thickest part of the jungle. The rain stopped. Then, they continued. Then, they stopped and then they continued again. Survival in a rain forest."

" [unk]"

" Here we go. A little fresh water shrimp. And you know what? If I can get a few handfuls of these guys, why not? That tasted good. That tasted really good. I'm gonna get some more. Shrimp number 2. My last one kinda bit my tongue when it went in. I don't think they could do that but the last one did so you're getting chewed right away. Yes, you. It's great. Wow. It's really good. I can't believe I'm that happy for such tiny little meal. This is my lucky day. Check this out. What's got here, some jungle fruit, and if I could remember the name of it, I would tell you, but I can't so the narrator will do that for you."

" It is a cocona fruit, also known as davoca."

" Oh, yes and it's perfectly ripe. This is going to be so amazing. I mean, the shrimp were nice but this is gonna be a flavor explosion. Oh, yeah. This is out of this world."

" The davoca fruit tastes like a cross between a lemon and a tomato."

" Oh my gosh. This is amazing."
