Justin and Mary woke up early, even though they were on vacation at their uncle' s lake house. The night before, Uncle Thomas told them about the Foggy Figure(雾怪) that lived in the lake. Justin and Mary decided to see it before their vacation ended.

"Is it foggy outside? asked Mary, as Justin looked out the window.

"Yes! Let's go!" said Justin.

It was only 5:00 a.m., so everyone else in the house was still asleep. Mary and Justin came to the boat dock(码头). They saw thick fog over the lake.

"Do you see anything?" asked Mary.

"Nothing. Do you think Uncle Thomas was just trying to scare us with that story?"

Mary shook her head. "Remember what Uncle Thomas said? The Foggy Figure lives in the lake. We' re on the dock. Maybe that' s why we can' t see him."

"You want to go out on the water?" asked Justin.

Mary looked around, trying to find Uncle Thomas' s boat, but the fog was too thick.

They walked towards the end of the dock and saw the outline (轮廓) of the boat. They carefully got into the boat.

Mary was nervous. "See anything?" They looked around, and slowly, the fog began to lift(消散). Mary turned around and shouted, "The Foggy Figure!" It was in the boat with them!
