CYRUS THE UNSINKABLE SEA SERPENT
   
       

"Once upon a time there was a giant sea serpent named Cyrus. Even though he was a horrible looking monster he wasn't the least bit fierce. All he did was wander about in the sea with no idea of where he was going. 'I'm tired of wandering, ' said Cyrus one day. 'I wish there was something more exciting to do.'"

Cyrus did find some excitement and his innate goodness lead him to perform several heroic deeds.
