All of my childhood, I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewa, Canada. We had a dug-out which is kind of a large man- made pond for our water supply. My parents would tell my brother and I, not to go near the dug-out or else the monster would come and grab my brother and I and suck us into the water. Everytime I would get near the dug-out I would cry. I then would tell all my friends at school about the monster and they would tell me is wasn't true. I would then tell them, they were wrong cause they lived in the city, they didnt know anything about wildlife.
