Red Sucker Land. The storyteller is in the house this afternoon along with my own two and two borrowed boys.We have been to the pool and I guess they must be a little tired after lunch as the storyteller is holding court. The princess "A" has a problem in that she has eaten all the red suckers in the land. She can't be the red sucker princess in green sucker land and so is travelling the world to find another red sucker land. She has this dreadful cats that licks itself. While doing so the smell of red suckers from the cat is invading her nose. The prince was made of red suckers and was eaten. It is very cannabilistic.
Meanwhile, I am struggling not to howl with laughter over the adventures. The thing that is really making me laugh though is that I googled red suckers to try and find an image to illustrate her storytelling. In the meantime, I have found that red sucker land really
exists. Very crazy, but true. If you were to travel to Manatobia and drive to the northeastern part of the province. You would arrive here. It is called Red Sucker Lake.Funnily enough, there doesn't seem to be an abundance of red suckers, so I have no idea how it got the name.

| Red Sucker Lake: the real red sucker land |
This is a beautiful lakeside community that belongs to the First Nations people. They have resided here for a very long time. But, my historical self is really amused. And check out the fabulous old photographs too!

Then, I investigated further and realized that right along with my storytellers tale. There is indeed a second red sucker land for the princess to move too. Choose from Red Sucker Creek (Ontario), or Red Sucker Point (Lake Superior Ontario).

Based on these images: I think one day a road trip is going to be required to go and visit all the places that a red sucker princess is meant to live. I wonder how long it would take to drive?
