Early Morning Mischief in a Canoe

 

"During the summer vacation we had no curfew and sometimes there was nothing to do for young teens. One hot day after returning from the sandbar and getting ourselves clean, Muffy, Richard, Mikey, Jeanetta, Fuddy and I hung around the Post Office until it got really really boring. After just hanging around doing nothing, we started to carry logs up the beach to Muffy's gram's maqi house. Then Muffy said, "Hey, you guys want to go canoeing?" Everyone wanted to, so Muffy got her auntie's canoe and we went down below where the old Coop used to be and put the canoe in the water. At first, nobody wanted to get in because there was a swift current around the boats that were tied to the bank.

Finally, Muffy and I climbed into the canoe, and when we paddled out into the river we teased our other friends for being scared. Of course, they ignored the name calling, but we only hung around the boats for awhile because we were scared that we might get taken away by the current. We finally got brave and went out a little further where I started to fool around and scare Muffy. She eventually hollered at me, and I stopped. We canoed around for a while until one of the boys hollered, "Look at that beaver!" We then landed the canoe and ran after it. After it got away, Richard and Mikey jumped into the canoe and started to canoe around the bank. Not long al we all got tired of canoeing and decided to go home and get some rest. So we put canoe away and went home to bed.

I wish I had my own canoe!"
