The Canal

Here is a sketch of the Canal where my boyfriend and I were walking, last night.  It was a cold walk, but there was 3/4 of a moon--and it was very clear. The strangest thing happened.  We could make out something, up ahead, just off the side of the trail, but we weren't sure what it was. Neither of us said anything about it, but as we got closer, we experienced the same surreal feelings.

We thought it was a horse, standing by the trail!  As we got closer, I could see it was a mule by the ears.  For a moment, I didn't know what to think--there was a mule standing alone by the towpath.  A few more steps revealed that they put a life-size realistic metal mule there--because mules used to pull the boats on the canal.  That was the weirdest feeling when we thought it was alive.
