			Ah, now I found it - it's the Feast of St Hilarius and St Felix ("ominous names"!

			That sounds like Tom Bombadil, but I'm not sure which animals you mean, HI.  He was captured by the Badgers, but they are not exactly riverside creatures; the Otters are riverside dwellers, but he wasn't exactly captured by them...

			are not the Badgers the ones to wash things in the water before they eat them? If no, than I unintentionally mislead you. yes, Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow I had in mind

			Hmmm, raccoons wash their food before eating it, and beavers build their homes as dams in the river... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			At any rate, since the answer was right, I'll pose the next question: What does Tolkien call "a rash adventure"?
