The Monster

The Monster

The people of the village lived in fear on entering the north swamp. There was a rumor of a monster living there.
None of the living villagers have ever entered that swamp, so they really didn't knew how the monster looked like. They only knew the monster existed because of tales from their ancestors.
One day, a visitor arrived to the village, and as usual he was warned not to go to the swamp. But his path went to the north, and taking the long road to the west required more than an extra week of travel.
He entered the swamp, as the villagers saw him as if he was to face death.
For 3 days, he saw nothing more than the usual things one see in a swamp.
Then, he sees in the distance, what looks like a big green object moving, towards a man. The man there sees him, and shouts "help".
The traveler think, so thats the swamp monster, and is about to kill that man. Being of brave hearth, instead of running decided to try to help the man so they both survive the monster.
But oh surprise, the monster was no more than a cow covered with swamp plantas and the like. And the man was just asking for help to guide the cow out of a swamp pit.
On the travel to the town, as they talked, the traveller mentioned the story of The Monster. The man after laughing for a while told him.
Those people of the village on the other side, long time ago, one of our cows entered the swamp, and on fear running on the swamp unfortunately killed one o the villagers. The other person there didn0t recognize the cow under all the swamp mess, and since then the legend of The monster exist.

The end
