"Dad! Dad! What's that in the lake? shouted Jim Ayton surprisingly.It was a summer evening in 1963. Jim was working on his father's farm by LochNess, a lake in Scotland, when he looked up to see a strange creature movingslowly down he lake. It was huge! Jim had never seen anything like it before.
Two men nearby heard Jim's shout and rushed to join him and his father.They were all excited and wanted to take a closer look. They ran to the lake,climbed into a boat and headed straight towards the creature.
The creature's head looked a bit like a horse's head, only bigger. Itsneck was nearly 2 metres, as tall as a fully grown man. Its body was as long asa bus. It had four flippers (鳍足) and a long, powerful tail. Could it be the Loch Ness monster thatpeople had talked about for years?
Suddenly, the creature rose out of the water. Then it dived into wateragain. A huge wave hit the small boat. It rocked and turned around. Had thecreature seen the men? Was it coming over?
A few seconds later, the creature slowly went away. The monster seemed morescared than angry! Then it was gone. The men searched and searched for it butthey never saw it again.
