He eagerly awaits the high waters that will allow them to set sail for a journey filled with promise. However, his impatience leads to a series of impulsive decisions, such as attempting to fix the boom holding back logs, which ultimately leads to the raft floating away without him being prepared. As he reflects on his behavior and his relationship with his family, the narrative sets the stage for an exploration of resilience, bravery, and the lessons he will learn throughout his voyage down the river.
