Three Men in a Boat - Chapter 9

In this chapter, our three intrepid adventurers find themselves inventing their own brand of hard work by attempting to control a headstrong tow-line which displays a tenacity, bordering on rebellion—an inanimate object daring to challenge human prowess! Witness how George, the newest member introduced to the fine art of rowing, struggles in shifting gears from his city life to understand the untrained instincts of this wild 'river beast' known simply as a tow-line.<br/><br/>As life on the river unfolds, disagreements arise in the form of a spat between the tower and the towed—showing us how the simplest of things can shape the most curious confrontations. Unravel the mysteries of a hilarious haunting on the river, and find music in places you’d least expect.<br/><br/>At once a literal and metaphorical journey, this chapter drops anchor at times in moments of bountiful humor, then effortlessly shifts to reflections on fleeting frustrations that life often presents. So fear not, for amidst laughter and light-hearted banter, the gravest of realities are laid bare, as always, in the most entertaining of ways.
