= = = = =MILES= = = =I am sitting in this cold canoe waiting for something to happen. Suddenly a weasel popped up and started to sniff me! Then came a family of rabbits and then there was a whole crowd of animals! A //BIG// moose then came and scared them all away.= =A bright glare of sunlight melted all the snow! My canoe fell down a melting snow bank into a brook. The boy ran and got to see me rushing at the current of the brook. “Goodbye Paddle!”, the boy called, “I hope you make it to the sea! //“Hmmm”// “I thought= == = = =//"I wonder if those animals liked me?"//= = = = =

= = = = = = = = =//"GAHHHHHHHH!//" I shouted, //"what is that thing?!"// I= =shot away from the moose and finally found a peaceful brook that had some trout. //"Oh// //look some deer!"// I said calmly,and then I paddled away and ate some fruit.=

=DAY 26=

=//"Hmmmm"// I thought, I must be somewhere off of the Great Banks. Suddenly a net came down and caught me! Then a **//HUGE// hand swooped down and touched my bronze writing! 2 hours later: here I am hanging on this string with a boy staring at me. I have been hanging here for 69 days and I still don't understand why the boy keeps saying " //A long journey you have made" "Now you are on my fathers ship" He'd say with some pride in his voice,"Don't you hear the wind in the rigging?" "Don't you feel the rolling waves?" "Don't you know that you are sailing over a huge ocean to France?" "And yet you show no surprise?" "Of course I show no surprise!"I AM PADDLE TO THE SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "I HAVE REACHED THE SEA!"//**=

== =I like paddle to the sea because it's action every minute! It all starts when a little boy made a toy canoe and sent him on a journey to the sea...=
