Through The Long Bridge Thing

Well The Owner stood at the back, leaning on the railings on the boat with his big mug of tea in his hand trying to look like he was in control of the everything. Then there was this big bridge looking thing coming up, actually it was more like a hole in a cliff face really where the water went through and it had trees and stuff like that way on up at the top. But he chugged resolutely forward, towards the hole.

I couldn't help but think that maybe the chimney thing coming out of the roof near the back of the boat was a little too tall and that it might be why everyone else seemed to be taking their chimney things down before heading in! Well, it was very dark in there and I couldn't see a thing, except a little dot of light a long way off, which seemed to be where we were heading. The noise was very funny inside and I couldn't really make any particular noises out, but when we emerged the other side after a frankly less than perfect passage through, I noticed the chimney thing laying along the roof and over where, until a few minutes ago, The Owner had been standing and the railing he was leaning on was now bent! There beside me was the mug of tea spilled all over the floor, but The Owner was nowhere to be seen! Well who was pointing the boat? Me apparently! I knew pointing the boat had something to do with that stick coming out of the floor of the boat which The Owner seems to spend most of the time when travelling, leaning against in a nonchalant manner trying to impress everyone or anyone and which I would wee up at any and every opportunity. But what to do with it? Moments later there was a big bang and a lot of shouting at the front end and everything came to a standstill. I did venture to have a quick peek around the front but I was a bit concerned as I appeared to have pointed it into the bank.... through another boat, which was now sinking and it's Hoomun seemed particularly vexed about it! Then The Owner came wading out of the hole in the cliff through the water, with a big lump on his head. I went and hid coz I reckoned I was going to be in so much trouble but the other Hoomun kept shouting at The Owner and then started hitting him! Someone called the Hoomun police and I thought it was going to be the dog pound for me. But I liked Hoomun Policeman as he had a pocket full of Bonio's and I like them, so it all worked out well in the end!
