Hi my name is Norman. My journey will start in the Tongue River west of Cavalier. An hour in my journey I see some beavers making a dam. One beaver comes and picks me up and puts me on his dam. I am there for a couple of days then it starts to rain and the river rises. It pushes me off the dam and I am off on my journey. Two days go by that night I see 3 racoons getting a drink from the river. The next morning I made it to Bathgate. I saw some hikers and they saw me. They decided to leave me there.Two days go by and I see a moose marking a tree.
The next days goes by and I make it to the Pembina River. The next night a river otter comes and takes me. Well it is going to its home it drops me back in the water. I start floating on. I go through a lot of cattails and I get stuck. After a couple of minutes the water pushes me out.
The next day I go through Pembina. There are a lot of Boxelder trees. As I am floating along I see some lilypads. A dandelion floats by me. The water speeds up and I get turned upside down. It seems like I have been floating like that for a long time. Eventually I turned right side up. I see some Walleye in the river. One sees me and it gets scared and swims away. I get to the Red River. There are a lot of willow trees that I see. I see some bullhead fish. As I am floating on my journey I see some snapping turtles. I thought they were really slow. The water is going really fast.
I got to Winnipeg in Canada. As I am floating by I see a farm and a tractor. That night I saw a red bat going to find some food. I see all the stars. They look really pretty and bright.
A couple days go bye and I make it to Nelson Bay. I see some spotted sunfish in the water. They are really colorful and pretty. There are some people having a picnic. I think they saw me because I could hear them talking to me but they did not touch me. A day later I made it to Hudson Bay. It was so neat.
