My bright red boat's name is Achak and he is red on the top and brown on the sides. He is a very good boat that likes to travel far down rivers so I hope he made it far. He first started to go down the Red River. The Red River is in between Grand Forks and East Grand Forks. On the way down the river it meets enemies and some friends. Some of its friends are very cool animals like : beavers and catfish. The beavers live in a dam with lots of friends and family. The catfish live under rocks along the side of the river and at the bottom of the river. Its worst friend are minnows witch lives on the side of the river in the shallow parts. The minnows would try to climb on top of him and go down the river underneath him or next to Achak. The beaver and the catfish also did things to Achak, but Achak did not feel this way. The beaver would chew on Achak, but to Achak it felt like a hair cut. The catfish put its mouth around Achak and that felt like a massage to Achak. Personally I think that that would hurt. Achak does not like the minno because it does not help him down the river but the catfish and beaver help him a lot. The catfish and beaver made waves and pushed him down the river farther. I think that Achak might get stuck on the side of the river during his travel. The catfish will grab him with its mouth and then pull him out, but then Achak will get stuck in the catfishՉs mouth. Then the beaver will pull him out of the catfishՉs mouth to save him. Achak will hopefully end up in the Hudson Bay after traveling 100 miles for two weeks along the river if all goes well.
