Seeing Weird Markings
While making his way across the squishy ground, he found an odd spot in the patch of earth. While it had been hidden by years of growth, he knew that its shape made it different from anything that he had ever seen in the past. Using his feet, he nudged at it until something made him stop.
A Soggy Piece Of Rope
He was unsure what it was. Was it a rope? Was it a sunken boat? He kept digging in the mud and pulled at it. To his frustration, it would not budge. It was a weird situation on its own, and he could not keep it to himself. He returned home and brought his parents there. Soon enough, word got around the village.
