Chapter 1; How Paddle-to-the-Sea came to be

A little Indian boy made Paddle.  He made it out of wood. He wrote "Please put me back in water I am Paddle  to the Sea".  He put lead in the bottom so it could stay upright. He painted Paddle & put a piece of tin on it so that Paddle could stay going straight.
