The swift current sucked the canoe forwards. Before too long, Amelia and Jim were flying along. Up ahead, Jim could hear Sarah shrieking like a little girl.

"Jeez, Mom, shut-up!" Jim muttered to himself, digging his paddle deep into the murky water. The wild water created foam which reminded him of the marshmallows. He looked up and tried to avoid staring at the rushing current. Further up, Delbert twisted his head around and caught sight of his approaching wife.

"Amelia! I'm over here!" he yelled, half-standing up in the rocky canoe.

"Delbert…please sit down!" called the captain, waving her free hand. It was too late. With a turning motion, the orange canoe flipped over on its side.

"Aw, sweet!" breathed Jim.

"Daft idiot," remarked Amelia, her voice affectionate. Sarah swam up to the surface. A spluttering Delbert rose out of the water next to her. With strong strokes, the captain urged her canoe over towards Sarah and the doctor.

"Um…Sarah…I realize that we are friends, but is it really that necessary for you to be kicking my leg?" questioned Delbert.

"Delbert! I'm not doing anything!" squeaked Sarah, clinging onto the canoe's side.

"Well, something is definitely enjoying me…perhaps I should get out," said Delbert slowly. As he splashed ashore, Jim caught sight of something.

"Doc! There's a snapping turtle hanging on your butt!" he laughed.

"Good grief!" roared the poor doctor, turning around. Sure enough, a slimy snapping turtle was hanging with determination onto the back of Delbert's khaki pants.

"Do not panic!" called Amelia, dropping her paddle. She dove overboard and swam over her frantic husband.

"Oh, dear!" cried Sarah, covering her eyes. Jim was laughing hysterically. Tears rolled down his eyes as he pointed at Delbert. A soaking wet Amelia was trying to pry open the turtle's jaws while the doctor was waving his arms.

"Unzip you pants, Doc!" instructed Jim, almost delirious with laughter. Amelia glared at Jim, but then seemed to think about the idea.

"My dear, I suppose that you could do that," she began slowly.

"WHAT? But all of humanity will see me in my deep humiliation!"

This was too much for Jim, who leaned over. The sudden weight flipped his canoe. With a yelp of surprise, Jim fell over.

"James! Are you okay?" asked Sarah, wading ashore.

"I'm cool!" shouted Jim from over the roar of the water. While gripping onto his canoe, he pulled it ashore and dropped it along with Sarah's. Upon walking onto the shoreline, Jim stared with amazement as he saw Delbert in Spongebob Square Pants underwear.

"Wow, you really wore the Christmas present I gave you!" gasped the teen.

"James! This is not a time for slack-jawed comments!" warned the occupied captain.

"This is a very, I repeat, VERY spiteful creature!" said Delbert, pointing with wrath at the snapping turtle, who lay contentedly on the empty pants.

"Wrap your shirt around your…ahem…waist," instructed Sarah. Delbert looked up at her. With an annoyed sigh, he took off his shirt as well.

"Oh, man!" giggled Jim, bending over.

"You will be in serious trouble when we get home, young man!" reprimanded his mother. She said it unconvincingly, and Jim barely heard her.

"Delbert, I am so sorry for suggesting that we go canoeing," stated a distraught Sarah.

"Um, that's okay, Sarah," replied Delbert shyly. He tried to ignore the curious stares he received from other campers as they trudged down the main road towards their cabins. Amelia placed a comforting hand around Delbert's shoulders. Jim shuffled behind, still amused at the almost-naked Delbert. Suddenly, he got an idea.

"BEES!" he shrieked, waving his hands. "Cover your heads!" he added.

With a yelp, Delbert unwrapped his shirt and covered his exposed head, not to mention the Spongebob undies.

"Oh! I didn't know this was a nudist camp!" remarked a passing camper with interest.
