Is the man trying to paddle the canoe up onto the ground at the end of his journey, with part of the canoe on land? *** DING DING DING **** Took place in Australia, where at one season, a river created by rains flows down a course and eventually dries up. It moves from one place to another and disappears. Well done SM!!!! |
Gail | Sunday, February 18, 2001 - 05:51 pm  I am grasping at straws . . Is he inside the belly of a whale? |

Schoolmarm | Sunday, February 18, 2001 - 06:06 pm  Is the canoe actually moving? Is it a "real" canoe or a toy/model? Is the man human (ie. not an actionfigure..etc.)? Is the canoe wedged-in at the sides with water current rushing underneath? Are the paddles unusual/defective? |
