My name is Colt! I am a Canoe. I got put in the Red Lake River in Crookston, MN by a boy. I want to make it to Hudson Bay. As I am in the water, I am traveling around many bends and turns on my way to Fisher. I get stuck on a rock because the water is so low. Later someone found me. They read the bottom of me and they said maybe I'll repaint it and send it on its way into East Grand Forks. A family picked me up, dried me off and brought me to their home where I sat on the shelf dreaming of the day I am released into the water again. Many days went by and then finally, the little boy picked me up and began to paint me full of beautiful colors. Once I was dry, they sprayed this stinky stuff on me. I dried again and put me back in the car for a short ride. The boy set me on top of a cold hill. As the weather warmed up and the snow began to melt, I started to slide down the hill. He sent Me off to the Canadian border. On my way there I saw a LOT of fish and a couple of dogs. I also saw some boats and people. Some of the people saw me! Suddenly, I saw my friend Inferno and we spent the rest of the day together. Finally I was not alone. I felt happy for us because weՉre on the way heading for Winnipeg. There was my friend James! Now I have my friends Inferno and James. We told each other about our long journeys. Suddenly we saw fire. James immediately said, ՉIs that FIRE!?.Չ We all said, ՉFire!Չ Could we all die? Die? ՉWe are only canoes, we can't die actuallyՉ Inferno said. ՉWe are wood and wood is flammable,Չ I said. We were all scared. Really scared! ՉWait!Չ James said, Չthere is an actual personՉ Inferno, said, Չthere is four people. Wait a second that is a bonfire.Չ We wonՉt get hurt I kept on telling myself. After awhile and a long night of restlessness, the noises stopped. We all felt so sleepy. The next day, James woke me up and I woke Inferno up. James said, we are at Lake Winnipeg. We made it to Lake Winnipeg after all that craziness. It was a long trip and we were so thankful. Inferno said, Չcan we explore for a little while?Չ As we searched and explored, we found an empty boat. We then stopped for a rest and someone found us. They did something awesome. They put us together and we were like the Indian boat put together with a little sail on the top of us. Then he drove and drove in his car and finally he threw us into the Hudson Bay. We were shocked because it was so cold and because we were finally at our destination. Then all of a sudden, I heard the weirdest noise and I felt a gust of air. I was being blasted out of a whaleՉs blow hole and I flew up into space.
THE END
