| Ferryboat Ride! |
A little girl describes her ferryboat ride as she travels to her summer island home: cars and trucks rattle onto the boat, a forklift brings heavy cartons aboard, the engines start to rumble and throb, and finally the captain blows his whistle and steers the ferry out of the harbor. During the voyage, the girl watches the water, feeds the gulls, and peers through the fog as the foghorn blasts.
