26-YIPPEE!

YIPPEE! After the gunmice left, we went to the Twisting Tail River. We found the dam that kept the water from reaching Cactus City. It had a handle that locked. "Geronimo, you unlock that thing," Thea ordered. "Then, Mick, you pull it out. OK, let's go! Go! Go!" Minutes later, the dam was open. Water flowed out with a loud WHOOSH. "Yippee!" we shouted. Thea and Trap did a dance. Benjamin clapped his paws. And Mick let out a happy whistle. As for me, I pulled out a tin cup from my supplies. I knelt down and scooped up some water from the river. I don't know about everyone else, but I was dying of thirst!
