How The Leaning Tower Of Pisa Came To Be

 

   As the Carson family boarded the ship with their cat , King Tutt,  it was clear adventure awaited them at the Tower of Pisa.

   After the extremely long voyage came to the end, the Carson’s  were ready to explore the sights. First on their list was the Tower of Pisa.

    On their way, Marissa, the youngest of the family, had a strange feeling something was about to happen. The only problem  was she didn’t know what it was. Marissa decided to ignore it and enjoy the scenery.

     The Carson’s finally reached the Tower. It was so great, the family just stood their and stared, but something caught their eye. A huge dog was standing their, staring at their cat. All of the sudden, King Tutt leaped on to the sky-scraping tower. The cat ran straight up it, as the dog stood on his hind legs and barked.

     The feline didn’t stop until he was at the top. Right then and there Marissa knew what her strange feeling was. As she looked the Tower began to lean, because King Tutt  wasn’t the slender kind of cat. In fact, he was really quite fat.

     Then something hit Marissa, how were they going to get him down? Suddenly her question was answered. One brave soul had gotten a ladder and started climbing. Finally, he reached him and brought the frightened cat down. The Carson’s thanked the good citizen at least a hundred times.

      As the Carson’s were packing up, they took one last look at the crooked tower. From that day forth it has been known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, thanks to King Tutt.

Waves crash over the burning sand,

as diminutive crabs scurry this way and that.

The sun gently falls,

creating a magnificent sunset.

Clouds slowly glide through the sky,

forming a sky-scape like no other.

A low country boil simmers sweetly,

as fires light up the night.

A lighthouse shines in the distance,

as it leads stray boats in.

Sea grass softly sways in the summer night,

as dawn closes in around the beach.
