My canoeՉs name is Happy. Happy and I come from East Grand Forks, MN. SPLOOSH! Happy dives into the Red River and her exhilarating journey begins! First Happy sees a fish gracefully swimming under her. But then Happy notices that the fish thought she was food! Happy swam as fast as light! She had to get away from that fish! But thenՉ»Չ»Չ»Չ»Չ»Չ»Չ» GULP! Happy had been swallowed by a big giant fish! The inside of the fish looked like a party. Was this an invitation to a party? Happy started to dance! She shook her butt, put her hands in the air, and danced like no oneՉs watching! But then everyone fell back! THWOMP! The fish they were in mustՉve gotten reeled in by a fisherman. SLICE! The fish was sliced in half. Soon the fisherman saw all of the fish in there and Happy. The fisherman read the note on Happy and threw her back in the river. Hours later it started to rain. It started to rain very hard. The waves were like huge houses. The hail was like soccer balls. The raindrops were like marbles crashing into the river. SPLASH! BANG! ZAP! RUMBLE! CRASH! The next day it was warm and she saw a fluffy otter floating on its back. Finally she made it to Hudson Bay! After a long way she felt so accomplished. But this isn't the end of her journey. Happy still has to get to the ocean and beyond!
