The Float Trip (A Nort the Newt Story)

One day Nort the new and Sally the salamander

Went on a float trip

When they got to the river they found a good sized peice of bark

That had fallen from a tree

They put the bark at the edge of the river

They climbed aboard

Then shoved off

For a while neither one of them said anything

Then Sally said "Nice day"

Nort replied "Beautiful day"

Silence for a while

Seeing the look on Nort's face

Sally asked "What are you thinking?"

Nort responded "Just how life is like a river, sometimes you have To take on some rapids, but as long as you don't go over the falls, Life is good." 

At the sound of the word rapids Sally looked worried

Sensing Her worry

Nort said " I promise we will not hit the rapids

I learned my lesion from last time

And still the rapids are still a ways off"

Nort was always good for his word

And sally had nothing to worry about

Sure enough they Nort pushed them out of the water

A few yards from where the rapids started

All in all a beautiful day spent together
