Gerald's dream is to get put into the Maple river. Down the river he comes across a fish he said to all his canoe friends Wait up and then he was on his own. About an hour later there was a heavy wind blowing him back and forth back and forth. Next thing he knows he is getting picked up by a fisherman with a beard down to his chest. Thinking it is a log he throws it back into the river unpausing his jouney.
