THE MONSTER

2. A long time ago there was a monster who used to walk around all by himself.

Every morning he would wake up after sleeping and he would eat up a leg of a child. Then he would set out, walking, walking, walking.

4. "I am running along with a big stick,’' said the monster. Then he saw a child sitting down and he hit him.

Then he took him to a big fire. After cooking he took him out of the fire.Then he ate him and after that he fell asleep.

6. In the morning he woke up and then he ate some meat. He set out and he heard a child."I am running fast with a big stick,'' said the monster. He got the child by the foot and whacked him on the head. After that he took him to a big tree. He cooked him in the shade. Afterwards he went to sleep.

8. Then he woke up and took some meat off the fire. After that he cut up two legs and ate them. The sun was going down. The monster made himself a camp and a fire. Then he lay down and went to sleep.

10.Next morning the same thing happened. He heard three little children. He hit them with a big stick. He hit them till they finished up. After that he cooked them. Then he fell asleep.

12.Then he woke up in the morning. He was walking around from tree to tree.Then he came across some children. He hit one child. The children quickly ran off to their camp.

After a little while the children got together for an attack and they got the monster and killed him and then they ate him up.
