Row, row, row your boat Gently Down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
Note: The picture here, strictly speaking, is not that of a row boat. This one is a big boat which is a sail-boat and a row-boat The first people to travel by water probably used logs as simple boats. They sat astride the log and used a piece of wood to paddle along. About 5000 years ago The Egyptians began to build proper boats. First they used a bundle of reeds and later they learnt to make proper boats from strong planks of wood. Then come the sails and the rudder.
