The Legend of the Rockcliff Monster
Chapter 1: The Great Sea
Chapter 1: The Great Sea
A long, long time ago, the Appalachian Mountains were covered by a great sea. In that sea lived Mazu, a gentle Plesiosaurus with a long neck and flippers that glided like wings.
Chapter 2: The Lonely Lake
Chapter 2: The Lonely Lake
When the sea dried up, Mazu swam into a small, deep lake to stay safe. That lake is now called Rockcliff Lake!
Chapter 3: Forest Friends
Chapter 3: Forest Friends
For many years, Mazu watched the forest grow, the birds sing, and the deer drink from his lake. But he felt lonely.
Chapter 4: Bee’s Big Hello
Chapter 4: Bee’s Big Hello
One day, a little girl named Bee came to the lake. When Mazu poked his head out of the water, she smiled and said, “Hello, big friend!”
Chapter 5: Ripples of Kindness
Chapter 5: Ripples of Kindness
“You’re not scared?” Mazu asked in his deep voice.
“No,” said Bee. “You seem kind.”
Mazu smiled. “Kindness grows like ripples in the water,” he said.
Chapter 6: A Forever Friend
Chapter 6: A Forever Friend
From then on, Bee and Mazu became friends. She learned from Mazu how to watch the world closely and see its magic.
If you ever visit Rockcliff Lake and see a ripple, it might be Mazu, reminding you to let your kindness ripple too.
The end.
