"I'm going on a river trip," said the Catfish to his Friend. "I'll swim this Mighty River, from it's beginning until the end." "From the top of Lake Itaska, to the Gulf way down below, the Mississippi will provide for me, a gentle way to go." "There will be no time for postcards, or letters to write and send." "Only the trill of a new adventure, waiting around the bend!" "When you have finished, with your great trip, and your journey is at it's end." "Whatever will you do after that," asked the Catfish's curious Friend? "Well, let me see," said the wise old fish, as he answered with a grin. "I guess I'll start all over, and I'll do it all again!"
