The group of boys trudged along the marsh of the swap with spears and stones at the ready. Their faces beaded with sweat, they were silent with the occasional cough or sneeze. A roar off in the distance made them walk faster. It was hard walking in the mud so they fell sometimes. Their clothes were smothered in dirt, they hadn't had a bath in weeks. Out of the distance something huge and ferocious was coming toward them in front. The group of boys weirdly were not surprised and went into a fighting stance. Each formed a line and walked even slower with spears pointed toward the beast. When the beast came close one of the boys shouted a cry. All the boys started yelling and ran as fast as they could at the monster. Right as they reached it, it roared and attacked!
