Eco Warriors v NPower


As a dog who loves water I have enjoyed the Radley Lakes since being a young pup.

I learnt to swim in Thrupp Lake. I was chasing after my big cousin, a doberman called Duke when he leapt into some water and I jumped in after. After a moments panic, I discovered I could swim.

The house next to Thrupp Lake was open today, and so I went inside and had a good sniff around. Nobody worried at all. There were no tables or chairs, but quite a lot of people, and a very nice dog who told me they were all eco-warriers.

Apparently, a big monster called NPOWER that breathes fire and turns everything to dust and desolation is coming to destroy the lake. But the eco warrier dog is going to stop the monster by staying in the house and barking very loud.

It is a very nice lake, and I would have been more than happy to stay with the eco-warrier dog to fight off the monster NPOWER who is coming to try to evict them very soon.

I have seen such scenes of desolation and destruction at the nearby lakes caused by that monster or one of its friends.
