At the loch there were only a few visitors on the morning of October fourth 1959 . It was a cloudy day and a slight mist on the horizon . . John Reid, who was fishing cast his line out and settled the rod on its rest and rolled a cigarette, His wife and child were collecting brambles from a bush just a little distance from where he was fishing. The young boy Jimmy was eating more brambles than he was collecting. 'We wont be making much jam if you keep on eating them.' 'I'm bored can we do something. else.' Jimmy climbed on to his mother's lap he was feeling a little sleepy. 'Tell me a story mummy?' ' Marry Reid cuddled her son and began her story. One day a little girl was throwing her ball about the park, and it strayed into the water. Plop the ball gave a big splash and made ripples in the water. ' Ouch .' a voice said and the little girl looked into the water and she saw in the refection a great big long worm.' 'I'm Nessie, People call me a monster, but I'm just a big loveable worm and I live in the water. I was just coming up for air when your ball hit me on the head. ' ' I'm sorry Nessie, can I have my ball back Please? ' Jack interrupted the story, ' Mummy the little girl what's her name?.' 'Oh that's a secret.' 'Why.' ' Because if she was to tell her name, people would ask lots of questions about Nessie and they would hunt for her, and Nessie just wants to live in her home. 'Oh that's okay we wont ask her' Jack lifted his ball and threw it into the water. Splash and the ball made a lot of ripples, but there was no sign of Nessie. |
