My name is Pickle Rick. I'm from Hillsboro, ND, and I will be traveling through a lot of places. If you pick me up, please put me back after reading my story. I will really have fun if you put me back into the water because I want to make it to Antartica. Since I will be traveling through a lot of places, I don ??t want to see any dead fish and sharks. I don ??t want to see them because they are scary. I want to see a tiger because they are cute. I want to make it there in six years. This way I will get notified when I am in tenth grade. I was in the fourth grade and nine years old when I launched this. I hope I pass by a wildfire. Hopefully a house isn ??t burning down in it. I also hope I see penguins because they are also cute. When we launched this canoe, I will launch it with my best friend. I want to be there for a while. If I get stuck, I don't care. If I get stuck, I get stuck. If I get unstuck, I will keep on traveling. When I read the book of Canoe Dreams, I don ??t want to get stuck, so I will be painting it as a pickle. Sincerely, Pickle Rick
