Hello my name is mal. My ownerՉs name is lillian. I am on my way to be released right
now. I am being released into the Tongue River. We are walking with the rest of the class. The
teacher keeps yelling at the other students for running ahead.
Then the teacher says,ՉWe're here.ՉAll the kids started talking about where they think their
canoes will be headed. Lillian stays quiet and says that she hopes that her canoe will go to the
ocean. Then the teacher saysThat we should take a picture with our canoes.After that Lillian lets
me go into the Tongue River.Then they said goodbye and watched us float away.
First the water felt ice cold. Then it started to feel warm compared to the wind. Then I saw
huge eyes looking at me. What is a walleye and it was gigantic. Then it started swimming away.
I was all alone on the Tongue River or at least I thought I was alone.
The sun was starting to go down. Then all of the sudden bald eagle swooped in and almost
grabbed me but luckily he missed but only by an inch. It was then I realized I could see the
lights the Cavalier. It was so beautiful it was like magic in the sky.
The sky was pitch black now. I could barely see anything. The only thing I could see was the
cottonwood trees that surrounded me on both sides. There were also Black Hill Bruce trees and
crabapple trees. Then I started to hear voices. It got louder and louder as if they're coming
straight for me and the voices sounded angry.
I listened as they got closer and closer. Soon enough they sounded like they were yelling as
they emerged from the woods. It was then I realized they were human. One of them reached
into the water grabbed me and luckily they sent me back into the water. They both ran away as
it began to hear a strange noise.
It almost sounded like a coyote but it was really really loud then it got closer and closer until I
could see it. Then it ran away. I have no clue why it ran away but it did. Then I was truly all
alone on the Tongue River.
I can't believe it I am finally on the Pembina River.I'm in Bathgate now.No wait maybe I'm in
Emerson. I don't know. I think I can see the lights of Emirson. I know I'm on a Red River
Or at least I think I'm on the Red River. I hope I'm on the Red River. Because I am in Emerson
and it is beautiful. I am finally Canada and I can't believe it. There's a beaver swimming next to
me on the Red River.
OMG I just entered Saint John Baptist.I am just passing through. It is just another town.
There is this one tower that looks pink but only because the sun is setting.
Now I am passing through Morris OMG. I can see a snapping turtle. Morris is so pretty. It
has been a long journey but I am finally in Winnipeg. It is so Majestic. There are buildings
everywhere. It is so spectacular I love it.
Then when I got to Lake Winnipeg. There were people everywhere. Then out of nowhere
people started screaming and running away and that is when i say there was a fire.It was huge.
It was a wildfire.
There were animals everywhere. Some of those animals were the eastern screech owl
northern leopard frog and the mink.They looked terrified. There were June Berry and Rose
Bushes burning up along with the choke cherry trees it was terrible.
I cannot believe my eyes.As I drifted away all I could think about work with animals.The sun
was starting to set. Began to get really dark and scary. I was terrified.
Turns out I had nothing to be scared of because when I woke up I was in Hudson bay.
There were polar bears and seals everywhere.I could also see dolphins and killer whales and to
be honest they were kind of scary. But I was all right.That was a long journey but I finally made
it.
