I thought of the prayer I had said when I had asked God to help me get two hound pups.
I knelt down and sobbed out a prayer. I asked for a miracle which would save the life of my little dog.
I promised all the things that a young boy could if only He would help me.
Still saying my prayer and making promises, I heard a sharp metallic sound.
I jumped up and stepped away from the tree. I was sure the noise I heard was made by a rattling chain on the front end of a boat.
I shouted as loud as I could. “Over here. I need help. My dog is drowning.”
I waited for an answer. All I could hear were the cries of Little Ann.
Again I hollered. “Over here. Over on the bank. Can you see my light? I need help. Please hurry.”
I held my breath waiting for an answering shout. I shivered from the freezing cold of my wet shoes and overalls.
A straining silence settled over the river. A feathery rustle swished by in the blackness.
A flock of low- flying ducks had been disturbed by my loud shouts.
I strained my ears for some sound. Now and then I could hear the lapping slap of the ice-cold water as it swirled its way through the trough.
