Chapter 1
Chessie
When
John got off of the school bus he followed the smell of the salt water.
There was light fluffy clouds in the sky. Everywhere people were
laughing and talking. It was a happy place at that time. But
then John saw a duck being tortured because everyone was chasing it.
Then he ran to the duck that was on the dock. He got his
lunch and fed the duck. He was feeding the duck by the tour boat. Then
when the whistle blew, he jumped up. Some of the passengers in a
different class heard it and went running to get on the boat. The
people that ran to get on the boat knocked John's bookbag off his shoulder
and it fell in the water.
John yelled, "
HEY!"
As soon as he watched it
fall into the water he said, "Oh no, my bookbag fell from the
dock of Annapolis. Gee! Now
Chessie the sea
monster got it. "
Jenny, one of John's
classmates, asked, "Who is Chessie?"
John said, "Chessie
is the long green slimy sea monster that lives in the Chesapeake Bay.
She just took my bookbag."
Jenny
chuckled when Chessie looked at her and said, "She looks like a 'Long
green slimy worm.'"
