Unit Two
During the holidays, Feddy Foldo decided that he would take his family on a fancy trip down the large creek in a boat. Freddy fired the engine and crept forward to the cabin where he took hold of the tiller. Suddenly, the boat drew away and started to float sideways, forward, backward, and in a dozen different directions. Freddy knew his duty was to keep the boat away from the edge of the creek, but, alas, he crashed into the bank. People from a nearby dairy ran down to help Freddy and his family to try and save the empty boat. creek
