The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's _ . They liked camping, but not near this swamp. 

"So," Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. "How did this place get its name?" 

"Are you sure you want to hear it ? It's a scary story," warned Jack. 

"Of course!" cried out Tom. "If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!" 

"Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you," said Jack, and he began this tale. 

"Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 

"'You are clearing too much land,' warned one old man. ' The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ' 

"'Silly fool,' said Dennis to himself. 'If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!'" 

"Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants." 

"What happened?" Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. 

"The land hit back ---- just as the old man warned," Jack shrugged. "Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found." 

"What a stupid story," laughed Tom. "Plants can't ..." Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted . The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

Martin och Tom önskade att de inte hade accepterat Jacks _ . De tyckte om att campa, men inte i närheten av träsket. »Så», frågade Martin, då de sutto och betraktade de heta kolen. "Hur fick det här stället sitt namn?" "Är du säker på att du vill höra det? Det är en skrämmande historia", varnade Jack. »Naturligtvis!» ropade Tom. "Om det fanns något att vara rädd för, skulle du inte ha valt det här stället!" »Ok, men säg inte, att jag inte varnade dig», sade Jack, och han började denna berättelse. "En man som hette Dennis försökte starta en gård här. Han byggde stugan där borta för att bo i. På den tiden såg området helt annorlunda ut ---- det var täckt av höga träd och träsket var en kristallklar flod. Efter tre hårda år hade Dennis röjt flera åkrar och planterat grödor. Han var så stolt över sin framgång att han vägrade lyssna till råd. »'Du röjer för mycket mark', varnade en gammal man. Marken är levande. Det slår tillbaka om du missbrukar det. "Silly dåre, sa Dennis till sig själv. "Om jag rensar mer mark, kan jag odla mer grödor. Jag kommer att bli rikare. Han är bara svartsjuk!'» "Dennis fortsatte att hugga ner träd. Små djur som förlitade sig på dem för att få mat och husrum förstördes. Han var så ivrig att utvidga sin gård, att han inte märkte floden som sakta flöt mot sin dörr. Han lade inte märke till att salt sipprade upp till landets yta. Han märkte inte att träskväxter kväver alla de inhemska växterna." "Vad hände?" Martin frågade. Det blev kallare. Han darrade, vridande sin kropp närmare elden. "Marken slog tillbaka ---- precis som gubben varnade", ryckte Jack på axlarna. "Dennis försvann. Gamla tror att träskväxter flyttade upp från floden och släpade honom under vattnet. Hans kropp hittades aldrig." »Vilken dum historia», skrattade Tom. "Växter kan inte ..." Innan han hade slutat tala, skrek han och svimmade. De andra två pojkarna hoppade upp med skräck och stirrade på Tom. Plötsligt brast de ut skrattande. En grön murgröna hade täckt Toms ansikte.
