My little boat
Sailed out to sea,
And there it sank,
Oh me! Oh me!

Of folded paper It was made,
My loss was not so great.
But sister’s Barbie, a passenger,
Has gone to meet her fate.

Anyone can make a paper boat; but to make one good enough to carry Sister’s Barbie was a real challenge.

The little boy in Shipwreck was able to convince his sister that his boat was safe enough to carry her precious Barbie, after all, his only loss would be a piece of paper. Children must be taught to respect the property and feelings of others. They are not born with that knowledge.
