The Monster and the Boy
The boy heard a sound, it was a quiet sound and it wasn’t an owl or a tree or the wind.He wanted to know what it was, so he turned around. He saw a big leg, a green fat tummy and a hungry face.

There was a boy named Tom. He roasted a marshmallow,but a sea monster sneaked out of the water and grumbled quickly. It looked like a scary, huge lizard. There were sharp pointed teeth in its big mouth. The huge monster looked at that yummy food. It thought “If you don’t give me that food I’m going to kill you!”
The boy turned around
and looked at the big googly eyes, its big huge feet, its huge mouth and long
tail. The boy was so scared he jumped off the bench and said, “Ahh! “Why are
you standing here behind my back!” Tom held up the stick like a sword. Tom
looked at the monster. The monster looked at the yummy food. It acted like a
giant cute dog. So Tom held a marshmallow and the monster put its tongue out
and ate the food. Tom said, “Why do you steal my food? I will give you food, if
you do a trick. Tom said “Great job! There is the marshmallow for you.” The
monster rolled over and its tail wagged. Its eyes changed, they became
friendly. When the marshmallow were all gone the monster got mad. The monster
growled.
It showed its sharp pointed teeth and its eyes were narrow. Themonster opened his mouth and chased Tom. The monster’s pointyteeth shone in the moonlight and he roared. The monster kept chasing Tom and he tripped over a rock. So he threw a pillow to the monster. The monster thought it was a marshmallow. The monster roasted pillow but it burned. Tom said “Ahhhh”! And he ran away.

The Marshmallow Monster
The Night of the Monster
A camper was roasting yummy s’mores at night in the woods. Those woods were safe - or were they? It was a very dark night, not even the moon was shining light. Something dangerous slowly emerged from the lake. First his top fins, next his ugly eyeballs and next his naked abs were showing. He was looking at the camper with his menacing eyeballs. The camper turned around slowly and he gasped. He looked at the monster’s razor sharp teeth.
The camper was using his s’more as a sword and the creature stopped attacking, when he looked at the marshmallow. The boy threw the marshmallow into the monster’s mouth and he loved it. Suddenly the monster started acting like an overgrown dog. First he rolled over, then he stood on his tail. He grabbed the marshmallows with his super long frog-like tongue. Finally the camper got the last marshmallow out of his bag and the monster ate the camper’s hand - or did he? The camper pulled his hand out of the creature’s sticky, gooey, slimy mouth.
All of a sudden the monster looked like a terrifying beast. He started growling at the boy and the boy decided to run for his life. The boy fell dramatically onto the grass, he thought, “Mummy! Please, don’t eat me! I can use the pillow as a shield to protect myself.” But the horrifying creature looked at the pillow and thought it was the biggest marshmallow ever. So the sea monster took the pillow, while the camper ran away into the woods. At last the monster sat near the fire and tried to roast the pillow, however the pillow burned to its death. The monster started crying like a baby.
