through Lester first like We Indian last loved was standing children policeman museum canoe
I
that
strange
we
visited
month
.
I
remember
we
had
to
go
the
room
before
we
got
to
the
main
display
room
.
It
a
long
room
and
we
could
only
whisper1
there
.
The
teacher
went
and
then
the
class
.
could
go
only
in
two
rows
with
a
partner
.
Most
of
the
time
my
partner
was
this
girl
named
Rose
.
She
wanted
to
hold
my
hand
all
the
way
,
but
her
hand
was
warm
and
wet
and
I
didn
?
t
it
.
The
floor
was
made
of
stone
,
one
of
the
boys
dropped
his
key
and
it
made
a
terrible
noise
like
a
rocket
.
The
teacher
had
to
hold
the
class
and
see
what
the
hell
was
going
on
.
But
she
wasn
?
t
very
angry
.
Then
we
passed
by
this
long
Indian
war
canoe
,
it
?
s
as
long
as
three
long
cars
put
together
.
We
could
see
there
about
twenty
wax
Indians
in
it
,
some
of
them
were
paddling
,
some
were
just
around
.
They
looked
very
strong
,
and
they
all
had
war
paint
all
over
their
faces
.
There
was
one
little
man
in
the
back
of
the
,
with
a
mark
on
.
He
was
the
witch
doctor
.
He
gave
me
creeps
,
but
I
liked
him
anyway
.
He
looked
so
confident
.
Another
thing
about
that
museum
.
We
couldn
?
t
touch
anything
there
.
If
you
touched
one
of
the
paddles
or
anything
else
while
you
were
passing
,
one
of
the
guards
said
to
you
,
"
Don
?
t
touch
anything
,
.
"
But
he
always
said
it
in
a
nice
voice
not
like
a
or
some
teachers
at
school
.
