In elementary school, I had a friend
named Kerry. He had red hair like me. His mother was an elementary
school teacher. One summer he invited me to their summer cabin for a
couple of days. It was on a lake.
We had a great time. We went swimming,
we rowed the boat on the lake, and we went exploring. Once
during our exploring we came across something very interesting. It
was a little island just off the shore. It was about two feet in diameter and just a couple of feet off shore. There
were even plants growing on this little island.
This was the neatest thing I had ever
seen. I decided that I would run, jump off the shore and claim my
little island. Well I ran, jumped, and then went right through the
island. I found myself standing armpit deep in water. This was no
island at all. It was only a clump of floating peat moss. My clothes were soaked and I was covered in peat moss from head to foot!
