Whatever Nala’s early story was, it made her nervous and untrusting. This scared little girl took her time to figure out life. When she first came to the cottage, she would not go near the water. In fact, she wouldn’t go near the water the following year either. In year three, everything changed and Nala became a confident, loving water-baby....
