Freddy Goes to Florida
“They visited Palm Beach and the Everglades and Miami and the Big Cypress Swamp. And it was on the way across a corner of the swamp that they had a very exciting adventure.
It happened this way. When they first came to the swamp, most of the animals were afraid and did not want to go into it at all, for it stretched for miles and miles, and there were no roads or paths, and there was no firm ground to walk on, only water and mud and the great twisted, gnarly cypress roots. It was dark, too, beca...use the trees grew so thick.
But Jinx said: “Oh, come on! Let’s see what it’s like. We don’t have to go very far in. What are you afraid of?”
And so they started in.
At first it wasn’t very hard walking, but soon the mud and water got deeper and the trees thicker together. And after a while longer there wasn’t anything to walk on at all—only water and trees.
“I’m going back,” said Mrs. Wiggins. And the other animals said they were too. Even Jinx agreed they couldn’t go any farther.MoreLess
