Jonathan Wigglesworth
The Sailing Ferret
This is the story of my
adventures. My real name is Jonathan Wigglesworth, but I
have lots of nicknames. One of them is "CJ". It
stands for "Claws and Jaws", because... well,
I'll let you guess why! When I was a small lad, I sailed
in a shoe. Well, it was a size 13 sneaker, but it sure
seemed like a boat to me! Later, when I grew up, I
learned to sail on a real boat. I am a good lookout. My
favorite spot is up on the bow. I know every nook and cranny on the boat, from stem to stern. And everywhere in between. If the Captain or the Mate loses something, I can "ferret" it out in no time. Nothing gets past me. Of course, I
have a few other favorite spots to hang out too. One of If I do want to go swimming, the best spot is in the stern, by the swim platform. If I want to, I can jump right in and swim to the beach. This doesn't make the Captain very happy, or the Mate either. So, most of the time I don't really go swimming, I just pretend. One time I did go to the beach. The waves scared me at first, but I got used to it right away. I loved the seaweed. I could roll around in it and hide in the beach grass. It was fun! Too bad summer doesn't last all year. I want to go sailing again! |
