Flying above the surface of the swamp on Stevie the
Swamp Boat, Huxley and Remus started catching up
to Randy. All the plants in the swamp made it hard for
Randy to swim fast. When Randy was almost within
Huxley's reach, he jumped into a small stream that fed
into another, larger river.
"Oh no," Remus cried. "What are we going to do now,
Huxley? My arms are still tired from all the paddling."
The wind had picked up while they were in the swamp,
and this gave Huxley an idea.
"If we build a sailboat, we can use the wind to push us
down the river and we'll catch up to Randy in no time!"
