Story by NICHOLAS ALBANO, for David.

HI I'M BLACK SMITH NICK AND HERE I AM IN MY BOAT HEADING DOWN THE AMAZON RIVER. I AM LOOKING FOR RARE ANIMALS IN THE AMAZON RAIN FORREST.

SO FAR I HAVE FOUND A TOUCAN AND A CHIMPANZEE. I'VE ALSO FOUND A THREE TOED SLOTH NAMED MATT HEFFERNAN. I HOPE I FIND A JAGUAR OR A CHEETAH. I'VE BEEN EATING FISH AND CRABS FROM THE RIVER.

The End
