Swamp Flowers

The swamp was known for its mysterious incidents. But it was more famous for its flowers that had mysteriously appeared overnight! They were extremely beautiful with a fragrance that could drive a person mad. However, it was impossible to reach them. The place was strictly forbidden. But Brian was not the one to listen to what was said. He did whatever he wanted to. His parents told him to study well, but Brian found school to be boring! His friends were also like him; they had left school and did nothing! One day, Brian and his friends made a bet about who could get a flower from the swamp. Brian was scared but he did not want his friends to think that he was a coward. So, he went away.

Brian stepped into the swamp alone, but nothing happened. He did not sink nor did any monster come to get him. Feeling brave, he started walking towards the flowers confidently. As soon as he reached the flowers, he tried to pluck one to take back to his friends. But instead of the flower, he realised that he was actually holding a large snake and a very angry one. Brain pulled hard at it, thinking that he would kill the snake! Instead, the snake kept coming out of the swamp. Brian pulled at it harder and it still kept coming out! Scared, Brian left it and turned around to run back but now the snake kept coming out on its own, and it was towering over Brian like a mountain. As it grew in length, its number of heads also grew. Soon it was a huge10-headed snake with the body of a dragon and a tail that had razor sharp edges! There was no escape from it! Brian was terrified and was about to faint when his eyes fell on the under-side of the snake monster’s neck. It was the softest part and Brian kicked at it with all his might. The snake-dragon howled with pain. Realising the weak spot of the snake-dragon, Brian kicked it again and again. The snake tried getting to Brian, but he cleverly avoided its blows. Soon, tired of the pain, the snake-dragon gave up the fight and fell back into the swamp. Immediately, the flowers died! The swamp waters also dried and there appeared a beautiful garden filled with fragrant flowers, tasty fruit shrubs and trees.
