My canoes name is Ricky McCheese I named it after my two good friends because it means something special to us I put Ricky into the Red River in East Grand Forks Minnesota Seventeen days later he was found by a sweet girl named Rose She found it by a dam just on the border of Canada Now it is June on a nice warm night Suddenly awhooo Ricky hears coyotes getting closer and closer by the minute A coyote picked Ricky up and walked with him in the woods for three and a half miles. He then was finally dropped in the water again Now it is winter and Ricky is stuck under the ice and cannot get out but a person named Fred is going on a walk by the river. Boom boom boom An angry bulldog is with Fred and he just cracked the ice Fred saw him and decided to keep him for the rest of winter Now it's spring and Ricky is on the move again OH NO There is a huge wildfire in Manitoba There are waves crashing and homes are being destroyed People are crying and everyone is scared Then a singing girl named Taylor Swift came and picked him up Then she put Ricky in the Nelson River Now Ricky is flowing through the Nelson River and bumps something it's another canoe Now a nice girl named Alison sees them both She looked them up and she found out the other canoe was Frank McBlueberry Finally its fall and Ricky got all the way to Hudson Bay Now it is winter and Ricky sees a bear eating a fish It was a very short winter and now Ricky has OFFICIALLY MADE IT TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN Right when Ricky got there dolphins were jumping and so were the whales Three and a half months have past and Ricky washed up on the shore of Greenland A little girl named Eva kicked him back into the ocean 47 days later Ricky arrived in France It was very joyful there There was music playing people dancing and also laughing This was the best stop yet I really hope that Ricky makes it even further and he keeps meeting new people My number one goal for him is that SOMEDAY he will make it to Australia Ricky I hope your future is bright Good luck out there Ricky you will always be greatly missed
