The stream was Marzanna's favourite part of her daily walk. She looked forward to splashing around in the cool water, even in the chilly autumn and winter. Until today.
As soon as the owner unclipped the lead, she leapt through the tall, soft grass, heading straight for the stream. Usually she would dive straight into the crystal clear water, loving how the water felt on her paw pads. However this time, something made her pause on the muddy bank.
She was glad she had, because when she looked in, it wasn't her reflection staring back, but floating fish bones. They were carried along in the current of the dark, murky stream.
Huh? What happened? This definitely wasn't normal. There hadn't been any fish in the stream before, not even alive. So how did they get there? And more importantly, what killed them?
Her eyes followed the stream back to the source, and she gasped at what she saw. A long, dark shadow was slithering beneath the water, and she could have sworn she saw glowing red eyes staring back at her.
What on earth is that?! Her fur stood on end and her tail disappeared between her legs in fear. There was no way she was swimmithere ever again, she didn't want to be a Monster's dinner!
Marzanna rushed back to her owner, barking to warn her not to come any closer to the stream. They'd have to find a new walking route, but right now she wanted to go back home and curl up u der her blanket. Luckily her owner seemed to understand, and they went back home until she found another route for them.
