I taught Huck Finn in Tonga. It was part of the New South Wales curriculum. Tongatapu has a lagoon but no rivers or streams. It's flat and made of limestone, so rain water percolates directly through the soil to form a freshwater lens on the groundwater. I had to explain river before I could explain a raft tied up to a house floating down a river.

The book group I belong to is excited to read James. I'm thinking I should first reread Huck Finn, as I last read it some decades ago (!).

Otis looks pretty relaxed whether wet or dry.

Looks can be deceiving. Otis definitely doesn't like being washed, but he did enjoy the steady stream of treats that it took to get him through it all.
