Subject: This is a story about me before I came here.

"Anyone want to sail in me keelboat with me, mateys!" Gisant asked. "Sure!" answered Dappler the shrew an' Seedel the squirrel."Well then, come aboard!" They all went in an' started talking. "You know, I've always liked sailing though I don't much of a chance to do so," said Seedle. "Aye 'tis fine thing, said Gisant, I can never 'ave to much of it me self!" "Hey guys, said Dappler, we have to go now, an' we should have left half an hour ago. It will be dark soon!" "Alright, matey we were just 'avin' a little talk," said Gisant. He rigged up the sail an' steered the tiller an' off they went. They 'ad a nice trip fer 'alf a day an' went to bed. They all woke up at the same time an' Dappler prepared breakfast. "Ooh," exclaimed Seedle, honeyoat scones with damson preserves an' two freshly baked pear flans! The trio went into the cabin an' ate one of the flans an' all of the scones. Dappler streached an' spoke. "This is the life. No worries, or strife." Gisant went out of the cabin an' went to the tiller. "The wind's blowin' strong," he said, "I need help!" Seedle came out of the cabin to assist with the tiller an' Dappler helped with the sail. After struggling in vain fer three quarters of an' hour they gave up. "I hope we aren't of course!" exclaimed Dappler. "I'll go check!" said Gisant. Gisant went into the cabin an' pulled out a map. "H'm," he said to the others. Pointing to the middle of the map, 'e said, "We left Ruddering Caverns from 'ere an' went south. Then after we traveled three leagues the storm hit us. We were blown off course an' I think we're right 'ere." 'e pointed again, this time at the top edge of the map. "Well," said Seedle, we'll just have to make the best of it." "Well, I don't know about you fellas, but I'm ready fer some sleep!" exclaimed Dappler. "Me too!" agreed Seedle. "An' me!" said Gisant. So the three friends slept till dawn. Gisant awoke first an' walked to the deck. "Still stormy," muttered Gisant to 'im self as he paced the deck. Suddenly wind started blowin' harder an' waves started crashin' over the deck. Gisant ran into the cabin an' shouted, "Start bailin', Mateys!" Seedle an' Dappler leaped out of their beds, grabbed buckets, an' started bailin'. After a while, the wind calmed down a little. "Whew, gasped Dappler, we don't have to worry 'bout the boat gettin' swamped any more." "Time fer brekkers!" called Gisant. Dappler an' Seedle came into the cabin an' sat on stools around a little oak table. Seedle made a face. "Saltwater soaked razzberry cordial and a mashed pear flan!? Is that all we have to eat?" "Be grateful we ain't on the bottom of the ocean. answered Gisant. Dappler, after eatin' could ya 'elp me with fishin' nets? I'm in the mood fer fresh shimp." "Sure, replied Dapple, I'll help ya!" The three friends ate. "We 'ave a food shortage, mateys, so we'll all 'ave to pitch in by fishin'." Seedle remarked, "I already knew we had a food shortage by what we're eating." After everyone was done eatin', Gisant got a big fishin' net from the storage box. "'ere, you 'old this end." he said to Dappler. Dappler 'eld 'is end an' Gisant dragged the net in the water an' pulled it up. In the net was lots of fish an' sea shrimp. "Any 'un stiil 'ungry?" asked Gisant. "Cause there be tons 'o fresh fish an' shrimp. I wish I 'ad me a pinch of 'otroot, though." Gisant fryed up some shrimp an' started' eatin' it. "You ald waterdog, replied Dappler, yer always wantin' to eat." Gisant said "Us otters need our nourishment!" At that very moment the ship strated rocking. "What's that?" asked Seedle. "Lit's see!" answered Gisant. They went on deck an' saw three log boats not far off. "It's the Guosim!" Dappler yelled. "We're saved! Indeed it was the Guosim, an' as the boats came closer, a shrew from one of the boats called out, "Ahoy there! Friend or foe?" "Friend!" all three shouted. the shrew came aboard. Log-a-log! exclaimed Dappler. Log-a-log said, "Everyone at Ruddering was worried about you three, so I was asked to search fer you over here. The three friends, under Log-a-log's directions, steered fer home.
