Hi! My name is Hunger, because I hope that someday world hunger gets solved and no one has to starve to the point where they really need food and water, or at least hopefully they have nutrients of any sort because their stomachs are so swollen they are practically about to pass away (yeah they will be in peace when they go to heaven but a peaceful time on earth is way better, for most people at least, or maybe just for me but still). Anyways, I started my river of dreams canoe journey at the Goose River in Hillsboro, North Dakota. My owner tossed me in the water with so much care, I felt like I would hold her tight if I could(I actually would if I could, but I am a sad canoe with no arms no legs, but I am a canoe, not very fun of an experience, well just kidding actually, it is fun because I don't need to worry about drowning or any of that stuff, but I can ??t live on land, I deserve water, let ??s just get back to the beautiful story), and then I started my journey out to the ocean thinking about all of the fun I was about to have. In my journey, I hope that I make it to the red river by passing through Caledonia and maybe even meet some awesome people, then I will make it to the mouth of the Goose River, and I will be in the Red River, and I will go through Grand Forks and someone will pick me up and say, ??this canoe is dirty and old, but there is a code on it that says to go to a special website, so I will do just that ? and then she or he, well they will obviously go to this website, A River Of Dreams website and read this very crazy and awesome (in my opinion) story and say, ? Oh! I should definitely put this beautiful wooden canoe with beautiful designs back in the water if that's what this small story says! ? after that I will sail through the calming waters of the Red River until I reach the Winnipeg Lake, in Canada and a kind shark that decides no to eat me will say, ??Hey, my name is Suzanne, what's yours, ??My name is Hunger, because I hope- ? ??Sorry for interrupting, but I didn ??t ask why you have that name ? ??Oh, i'm so sorry, I just got so excited and I couldn ??t stop talking ? I replied ??it's ok, but do you want me to help you get anywhere? ? she asked politely ??Oh yes please sir- I mean ma ??am, could you please take me to the Nelson river ? I asked as politely as she asked ??yes I can ? she said happily. And I got so happy and couldn ??t stop myself ??thank you so so much, you have no clue how much this means to me and and- eh I just forgot what I was going to say ? , I said, and we couldn ??t stop laughing until we burst into tears (thats how hard we where laughing) and then after hours and hours sailing like way over 100 miles, we made it to the Nelson river, where we had to say our goodbyes, for the first time, so I knew I had to prepare for more of these goodbyes, and I felt lonely for obviously the very first time in my entire journey, until I remembered I made it to the Nelson river, yay, I thought, I am already almost out to the Atlantic ocean So then I realized there was no one, there was not even animals of any sort, well except for animals that live for the freezing cold weather/they are used to the freezing cold weather is what I technacly mean, but then I realized, it's already winter, so most animals are hibernating, I was not lonely at all, but I would be gone by the end of the winter, until I realized, I was stuck in the ice with nowhere to go, but instead I saw some arctic wolves that clawed through the ice and set me free!!! And then I realized, it has been 4 years and I am still not even at the ocean, but I was really close, I was, wait where was I, oh yea I was at the nelson river, I have been sailing for 4 years I didn ??t remember where I was, WOW. I finally made it to the Hudson Bay after 1 year in the Nelson river with nicely done smooth sailing where I found like, 5 or 10 people people who all saw me and said ??Hey, look over there, a wooden canoe, let's go check it out! ? , and then they all wanted to get me so I sailed over and the one that looked like he must have been the tallest of them all decided to try and read the code, and he succeeded in doing just that! He excitedly said, ??look I got it, I got the code, we should read this story, maybe it will tell us something cool about this canoe, who knows what this story will say ? , he said and all of those men said ??let me see ? and everyone pulled out their phones and said ??Wait, there is no signal on our phones, we need to get some, come on ? , they all finally got signal by going someplace that was high and read this story and reluctantly decided to put me back in the water so they gave me a nice strong push to the Atlantic ocean while saying their goodbyes, I knew this would happen on my journey, saying goodbye to animals and people, but I didn ??t know that every single goodbye would have to end this emotional, I never wanted so much emotion on this journey because it is supposed to be a happy journey, not a sad journey where I had to say like 10,000 goodbye, ( ok ok it's an exaggeration, but you can deal with it right?) On my journey, I hope to see pretty fish (like Glofish or Clownfish), a Shark that hopefully doesn't eat me, maybe a Great White Shark, or a Hammerhead Shark (but the thing is, why would they eat me, i ??m a wooden boat, but I do have decorations of foods on me that might fade away though), some Moose, some Buffalo, maybe a Dog that is not a stray and obviously has an owner to care for it, a Snow Bunny, maybe a Fox, a Snake, Birds, and a Bear (that would honestly be really cool for the places I want to go to on my journey before I get to the ocean, if you ask me) as long as none of the animals try to eat me, then I really want to see these animals. I don't want to end my journey, but if I do, I hope to end it somewhere in London or europe even though they are the same thing, well kind of I just mean in that area, so if you see me, please put me back in the water, so I can continue my journey. The people I want to see are fishermen, buildermen, a lot of children of course, people that will truly care for me, but still let me go back in the water, and maybe people that even read stories to me. On my journey I also do not want to get stuck in places like trees or bushes or inside of ice even though I definitely will, I definitely will, or get drowned by riptides or get hit by boats, jet skis, or big or small. If anything, on my journey to the beautiful ocean, I hope that if anything, I hope that you put me in the water because I want to explore new places, maybe desert or the freezing cold, meet more people, meet more animals, and that is my biggest request. My very last thing is that you can repaint me if my paint looks drained, I honestly do not mind if you do so, and I don ??t mind the designs you want to do on this canoe that was extremely hard for my owner that tossed me in the water with so much care to do. So that's all on my report for my journey to the sea and I truly hope that the journey I talked about happens. Goodbye to all who are reading or did read since it is over, and hopefully you have a great day ahead of you for this good deed for going on this website called river of dreams that you have done!
