Hi, my name is Splash.
I got it because I splashed my owner when he dropped me into the Sand Hill River.
I dream I will make it to the ocean and be free.
Who knows, I might somehow go to Antarctica and see penguins.
So anyway when my owner dropped me in the Sand Hill River I started my journey with simple stuff like looking at a cool shaped tree.
The water was cold as the night breeze because itՉs spring in Minnesota.
After traveling for a while it was night I could hear crickets. In the corner of my eye I saw a city. I quickly swam over there and saw a sign that said welcome to Grand Forks.
It was busy that day but then I got caught and got stuck.
I tried to escape but I couldn't. It was now the second day I was stuck in a stick.
I thought it was the end but a human walked up to me and just looked at me then he picked me up. My heart was racing but then he just put me in the river like he could read my thoughts.
IՉm glad that IՉm back on my journey.
For two days there was not much. I saw some cool plants along the way.
The river was now fast and warm. IՉm glad I got to Huston Bay but IՉm still not in the
ocean. Then I heard something far away. I looked behind me and saw a huge wave. BOOM when it hit me I got pulled in the water and then I hit a sharp rock BANG my hard wooden base cracked and I was sinking fast. Then when all hope was lost a turtle came to me and put me on his back he swam me to the top again.
And when the turtle brought me back to the surface and the first thing I saw was the ocean. I yelled in joy Չ»well in my head I canՉt talk. IՉm in the ocean! Չ»it felt as good as good could ever be.
Then everything went black NOO it was all in a dream. Wait, is this AntarcticaՉ» but I still have a crack on my base.
I was about to scream in joy again but then I remembered
At the start of the journey I had a friend with me Չ»
I think his name was. . . Stanford
If you found me I hope you will find him too.
