The Search for Nessie

The Search for Nessie
There was once a wee little dog who spent his days in search of a monster. He sought to prove his bravery by facing the legendary Nessie. One day, as he was sniffing about the heather, he met an intriguing rabbit. The rabbit asked, “What is it you search for dog?” The dog replied, “The Nessie!” The rabbit twitched his nose in thought. “Silly dog, Nessie resides in the Loch - but you’re far too wee to swim it. Fortunately for you, I know a little magic.” The little dog wagged his tail in excitement. “Take this thistle with you down to the Loch, and keep close watch of the water”. Thistle in mouth, the little dog trotted on his way.
As the little dog approached the loch’s edge he felt a dampness in the air. The mizzle quickly turned to torrential downpour, and soon lighting and thunder followed. The little dog shook from cold and fear but stayed put with his thistle as raindrops drenched his fur.
