The Creature from the Canal

One lovely summers morning on the roof of the canal boat, Tristan and Morgan Columbus decided to play a game. " how about we play 'who can throw the hat the furthest',"said Tristan.

First went Morgan.

Tristan threw it so far it ended up in the water.

" I'll get it," he said.

Morgan went to tell her parents about the hat.

When they came back he had gone.

" He's probably gone for a swim," said mother Doris." He'll be back soon."

Time passed and Tristan still hadn't come back.

It was now evening. Doris and Morgan had one last check to see if he was back.

" Look, I thought I saw something move over there!" She said.

"I don't see anything at all." Said Doris.

And sure enough, there was nothing there.

"Look, over there!" She said taking her mother's paw.

But nothing was there.

" I though I heard something on the roof!" Morgan said.

They checked." Something's been here." Said Doris. "I thought I saw something over there," said a scared Morgan. Nothing was there.

"Lawrence and I shall search for Tristan whilst you go to your bed," said Doris firmly. Morgan couldn't sleep that night. What if an evil swamp monster had eaten him!? She was sure it was a monster.

She got dressed and brushed her teeth.

She then climbed into a rowing boat and set out to find the creature that had eaten Tristan.

She was sure she saw a shadow reflected in the water. When she put the oar down for the sixth time, she heard a 'clunck' like sound followed by an 'oooouch' noise. Then a familiar face came out of the water.  "TRISTAN!!" Exclaimed Morgan. "There wasn't a monster after all!"

When they got back on board the canal boat everybody was so glad he was back.

" how about we celebrate with some. Fish and chips!" Said Doris.
