The monster is the name we call those unknown lives. Maybe they're large, ugly, or fierce. I think if they have thought, human being may also be called a monster. haha~~~

First I've heard about the monster at English lessons in school. At that time I partly believed that it might be true, but now after 10 years after school i I don't believe that there is any monster in the lake.

we can not prove thoroughly that the monsters did not exist. probably their group have got extinct on land such a Dinosaur.
sometimes some parents used to construct some monster to scary their own children. this fiction monsters sometimes got to be real scary animal in children mind. sometimes some of this children when they get mature they can not accept that all of monsters was fiction. I hate this kind of ways for treating and bringing up the kids. it might led to have bad affections on their children in future. I know some people that they scary to go anywhere in darkness.
