I Am The Loch Ness Monster
I Am The Loch Ness Monster
... the banging sounds and then the explosions! I had a look outside my cave, and there was Mad
Mick and the yellow underwater probe again! This time it just wasn't funny! They had planted
dynamite in the rocks near my grotto. After the explosions the rocks were falling down and I
thought they would block the door to the cave!!
I went outside and decided to swim under the yellow probe and bump it. They went away in a hurry
then!
By now I was desperate. How could I get rid of Mad Mick and his stupid yellow probe before he
blocked my lovely cave? For a few days I was very depressed, but they didn't come back. I suppose
I had frightened them.
And then, a week later, help arrived. It was six o'clock in the morning and I had decided to go for
swim down the lake. It was foggy and misty and the mountains looked very black against the pale
blue sky. I swam towards the town of Invermoriston but got out of the water on the other side of
the lake. I sat down to rest on the little beach. It was very quiet, and all I could hear was the gentle
sound of the water.
Suddenly a voice said, 'Hello'.
I nearly jumped out of my skin!!
Who is it? Is it Mad Mick?
I looked round, and there was a small boy with brown hair and a red face. 'Hello, I'm Robbie,' he
said.
I wasn't scared because Robbie wasn't scared! So I said, 'Pleased to meet you.'
'Who are you?' he said.
'I'm Nessie, the Monster of the Loch.'
'Oh yes, I've heard of you. Where do you live?'
So I told him about my lovely comfortable cave and Mad Mick's efforts to destroy my front door.
'No problem,' said Robbie. 'I've got an idea!'
Robbie has got an idea. What is it?
So he went home and told his father that he had seen a strange black shape in the water, which
looked like a monster. Now, Robbie's dad worked for the local newspaper and they wrote a
wonderful story about people seeing the Loch Ness Monster at the other end of the lake.
So all the tourists with cameras, and Mad Mick and his men, all set off for the other end of the lake
to hunt for me. Of course, I didn't go there for weeks I just stayed at home in my comfortable
cave near Drumnadrochit.
Eventually the tourists, and even Mad Mick and the scientists, gave up and went away because they
couldn't find me. So now all is peaceful, and I've got a quiet life! So I'd just like to say, 'Thank you,
Robbie.''
