Underneath

On the surface, everything looked ordinary.

The boy in the boat was bored. He had lived beside this boring river with his boring family for his whole boring life. Nothing unexpected ever seemed to happen to him. He often went to bed at night and wished for something exciting in his life.

Little did he know, underneath the ground he walked on and the river he rowed his boat on, a marvellous, mysterious, magical menagerie of life stirred.

His life was about to become a lot more interesting…

The next day the boy went out he sat in his old wooden boat until he could see something under the water. What was it? Was is gold or a house. As he took one last breathe the water splashed past his face. The water was very gloomy it was hard to see. But he made it.

At the bottom of the river was a pill a sticks. If he looked closer he would of find little wooden people living down there in their homes.

The boy swam back up but where was his boat?
