Define pond. We have a pond which serves the bees as a water source, and was stocked with bream (before all the blue herons and eagles fished it up). Now, an alligator has made his home there. I mean, my friend’s pond looks nice, parties have been hosted on it, the horses cool off and drink from it, we swim in it, fish in it, kids can learn to ride through it, and the dogs have a water source. Multi-functional.
