Tina was a special pebble that was always moving from place to place. She began her crazy adventure by getting lifted and tossed down a mountain by a tumbling boulder, weathering and chipping as she went. She ended up in a landslide and was trapped tumbling down a 200 foot slope in deep, fast-moving water, getting crushed and battered by other rocks. Though small and battered, she survived being carried in the fast river until she reached an old, slow, peaceful river where she could rest. However, she then encountered rapids taking her into a delta and enormous waves, but survived her long, eventful journey.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
Big Two-Hearted River: Part I1
The train went on up the track out of sight, around one of the hills of burnt timber. Nick sat down on the bundle of canvas and bedding the baggage man had pitched out of the door of the baggage car. There was no town, nothing but the rails and the burned-over country. The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there. It swirled against the log spiles of the bridge. Nick looked down into the clear, brown water, colored from the pebbly bottom, and watched the trout keeping themselves steady in the current with wavering fins. As he watched them they changed their positions by quick angles, only to hold steady in the fast water again. Nick watched them a long time.
He watched them holding themselves with their noses into the current, many trout in deep, fast moving water, slightly distorted as he watched far down through the glassy convex surface of the pool, its surface pushing and swelling smooth against the resistance of the log-driven piles of the bridge. At the bottom of the pool were the big trout. Nick did not see them at first. Then he saw them at the bottom of the pool, big trout looking to hold themselves on the gravel bottom in a varying mist of gravel and sand, raised in spurts by the current.
Nick looked down into the pool from the bridge. It was a hot day. A kingfisher flew up the stream. It was a long time since Nick had looked into a stream and seen trout. They were very satisfactory. As the shadow of the kingfisher moved up the stream, a big trout shot upstream in a long angle, only his shadow marking the angle, then lost his shadow as he came through the surface of the water, caught the sun, and then, as he went back into the stream under the surface, his shadow seemed to float down the stream with the current, unresisting, to his post under the bridge where he tightened facing up into the current.
Nick’s heart tightened as the trout moved. He felt all the old feeling.
He turned and looked down the stream. It stretched away, pebbly-bottomed with shallows and big boulders and a deep pool as it curved away around the foot of a bluff.
Nick walked back up the ties to where his pack lay in the cinders beside the railway track. He was happy. He adjusted the pack harness around the bundle, pulling straps tight, slung the pack on his back, got his arms through the shoulder straps and took some of the pull off his shoulders by leaning his forehead against the wide band of the tumpline. Still, it was too heavy. It was much too heavy. He had his leath ...
1. The Crazy Adventure of a Mineral Named Tina The crazy adventure of a mineral named Tina all began with a pebble. Tina was a very special pebble unlike the others. Why you ask? Well, Tina was always moving around from place to place.
2. So, one bright day she was peacefully resting on a mountain that she had landed on weeks before. All of a sudden she got lifted away by a huge boulder that began to tumble down, and poor Tina started to get chipped and weathered off the mountain. Then she got into a huge land slide. The whole boulder was crashing on top of little Tina, and sadly was gone. She was going downhill head first!
3. She was in a huge trap. She was tumbling down a 200 feet slope of water. She was doomed. When going down hill, she was getting trampled over all of the other rocks. The water was so deep that she couldn't even breath. She got so squished she was chipping even more than before. She was in the process of stream erosion.
4. When she reached the bottom of the river she was pancaking horrendously . This was bad. The river was very narrow and fast. Tina was so small that she completely got chipped by the side of the river. Tina felt that the river was so so long that it seemed never ending.
5. Finally, when the fastness stopped she was able to stay in an old, slow, peaceful river. She was so revealed that, that was over. Even though she was now almost a speck, she was still happy that she could just sit and “chill.”
6. While floating around in what she thought was a little, slow, or peaceful river was a delta. She was floating along and she started to feel different. At first the water was slow and steady, But now the river was getting faster. She started going down hill, down into the delta. Whoosh! She fell down the steep hill and... Splash! She was in the pile of water. She almost couldn't breath. She now was in enormous waves. They piled over poor little Tina who now was soaking wet. Tina was able to survive the waves and craziness, and now Tina was fine and her journey was over.
