This is a story about a small beaver with a flat tail, tiny arms, a big heart, and a good brain to go with it. His name was Beavey.
One day, Beavey went on a canoe/camping trip with his friends Rocky the raccoon and Spike the porcupine. They were best friends and were all very smart.
Once they paddled about 100 feet, one little drop of rain fell right on Beavey’s little nose. They paddled once again, and then they all noticed it had started to rain, but they didn’t worry one bit until it really rained.
It started to storm! The wind really picked up and threw them out of their canoes. They decided to swim, but little did they know where they were swimming to. They accidentally swam in the wrong direction and ended up far from their homes.
Rocky saw land, so they swam to it. Beavey built a shelter with logs …show more content…
and sticks, Rocky collected berries, and Spike made a fire.
In the middle of the cold night, the boys heard growling and howling outside their shelter. They peaked out slowly, and there was a pack of meat-eating wolves! One wolf scratched Rocky and one jumped on Beavey. Spike pricked the wolves with his quills, and they ran away. “That was a close one,” said Spike.
It was morning and Beavey and Rocky still had scratches on their little bodies.
The sun was out, and they had no idea how to get back to their homes.
“Hey, guys, we are in luck. The storm cleared!” said the happy raccoon.
“I have an idea!” said Beavey. “Rocky, you get logs, and Spike, get vines and our food for the big trip.”
The boys worked a long time, and Beavey helped them. In a few hours, there had made a raft. They made sure the raft would float, and it did, so they hopped on. They laughed and told jokes, they ate berries and told stories about their adventure. Beavey remembered what his dad had told him about the sun setting in the west, and their homes were in the west.
The boys jumped up and down when they saw dolphins and sea otters, and guess what else they saw. They saw land and smoke from a fire in the village, and boy were they happy. They almost cried they were so happy.
And that was the amazing story about three little creatures named Beavey, Rocky, and Spike, who sailed on a tiny raft across Hudson’s Bay and survived. It would’ve probably taken me and all of my friends a month, and it only took them two
weeks!
