 | When I awoke I heard the morning doves cooing and the  squirrels chitter-chatting.  I thought  to myself:  Today’s the day I go  canoeing.  I groaned, turned over and  went back to sleep.  When I woke up Mom,  Dad and Isaac were eating breakfast.   “Look who’s awake now,” Mom said.   Today’s the big day, “said Dad.   “Yep,” I said nervously.  |
