Good Riddles

Question: Before dying, a father left a will to his two sons telling of a gold-panning stream that had supported his father's family long and hard. The will said that the two sons could make one, only one trip to the stream to pan for gold, but for as long as they wanted, and that whoever carried the gold back got it. On their way to the stream, the two sons lost a big fraction of their supplies, reducing their stay to two months. All they had now were some food, a mule, and panning supplies. During their stay, they managed to pan and smelt a gold bar 5 inches in diameter and 5 inches in height. Back in their hometown, the two sons disputed long and hard in court over who should get the gold bar. Now, the judge was a wise one. Who did he say got the gold bar?

Question: I live in water, but not in the same place. Sometimes it’s drinkable and other times it's not. I am either a hunter or gatherer. I am known for being gentle and easy, but I don’t live long. You will know me by my large eyes and goofy lips. People know me by my slimy body. I can be found in your house or out in the wild but never in between. I am friendly so I will likely be your friend in school. What am I?
