Hi! IՉm a little wooden canoe. My name is Cedar. One day I was handed to a girl named Susie. I sat on a stack of other canoes and got to know them. I made friends with Woody, who belongs to Izzy, and Pine, who belongs to Kallie. Some days later we were given back to our owners and were colored. When the kids were finished we had to go in a box. A few months later we were released into the river. It was a clear but windy day, and soon we got going. The current is strong and I go fast. In a few days, I slow down and start to feel lonely. I miss company. Suddenly, the water was hit by a big splash! It was a moose! Without realizing it, I had crossed over two states and was in Montana! I saw why the moose had come in so suddenly. Four wolves had chased it into the water. After that happened, there was hardly and excitement. After a few more months I made it to the ocean. A little girl on a voyage ship ran to the docks and picked me up. She read my message and put me back. After a year or so I ended up in Europe. I sailed the English Channel and ended my journey in France. The little boy who picked me up couldnՉt read English and didnՉt show me to his parents. At least I made it this far.
