14-FRIENDS.. FUREVER!

FRIENDS... FUREVER! When Punk Rat stopped shivering, he wrapped his paws around my neck. "Thank you, Geronimo! You saved my life! I'm sorry I played all those dumb tricks on you," he gushed. I tried to say something, but I couldn't squeak. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. Punk Rat was squeezing my neck so tightly I was choking! At last, he let go. Then he shook my paw. "Friends... Furever!" the little rodent squeaked. I gave him a weak smile. "FUREVER," I croaked, still gasping for breath.

The Adventure Seekers of Niagara Falls Many people have come to Niagara Falls seeking fame and adventure. Here are just a few of the most famouse. The first daredevil was Jean. Francois Grayelet, known as Blondin. In 1859 and 1860, he crossed the falls by walking on a steel rope stretched across the top. The first woman to hurl herself over the falls inside a wooden barrel was Annie Telson, sixty-three years of age. She completed the feat in 1901, accompanied by her cat. Bobby Leach faced the falls in 1911. He locked himself in a steel barrel, but he was less lucky than Annie. He was in the hospital for six months with various broken bones. After his first attempt failed because the authorities stopped him, Dave Munday succeeded in hurling himself over the falls in a barrel twice, once in 1985 and once in 1993.
