The Monster (I)

                On a peaceful day in the Tavern Forest, weather appeared to be good throughout the day. Little bunnies are playing hide and seek around the lake in the forest. Flocks of bird are flying above the cloud. It’s another normal day.

                Suddenly, the bunnies hop out of the papaya bushes, while they are running they are also screaming: “Everyone, run for your lives!! Everybody run!! The Splashing Monster is coming to eat us all! The monster is coming!!”

                The pusillanimous bear is the closest to the little bunnies. This bear is always afraid of things, and decides to run with the bunnies. While he runs he also yells with his roaring voice: “The HORRIBLE SPLASHING MONSTER is coming to eat us all, we need to get out of here immediately!” He even forgets to bring with him his honey jar, which he always brings no matter anything, but the Splashing monster had made him lost his mind.

                Then the fox joined their group, the fox is one of the brightest fellows in the forest, he stops the bunnies and the bear, and asks them to go back to the lake where the bunnies had seen the monster. Bunny one said: “I have seen the monster, it is really big, probably bigger than our lion king,” “No, it is much smaller than that, it has the same size as the bear.” Bunny two disagrees. “No, it is bigger!” “Smaller!!” “BIGGER!!!!!!” “Can everyone just stop a second please?” the fox stops the argument. “What we need to do, is to go back to the area quietly and stealthy as much as we can do, and then discover what this monster truly is. “OK, but you will go back alone; we will not be coming with you.” says the coward bear. The fox agrees and goes back to the lake by himself while the bunnies and the coward bear continue forward.

                On the way back, the fox is thinking what this monster truly is, and trying to capture it by himself to gain fame around the forest. “Hmm, the splashing monster, that doesn’t sound scary. Maybe it is just an small rat.” The fox keeps thinking that the “monster” is nothing but a small creature. “Yeah, because he rabbits are small, what they think is big might not even appear in my eyes. I am so smart.” The fox walks toward the lake, but before he reaches the edge of the lake. “Boom” the sound terrified him. “What was that? Oh My Goodness, it is the monster the bunnies were talking about! Oh NOO!!!” he starts running, and yelling, “The Monster is coming, it is real!!! We can never escape from it. Run away, from this horrible monster!”

                While the fox discovers the identity of the monster, the group fleeing for their lives also meets the eldest animal in the forest, Mr. Turtle. Turtle has been in the forest about two hundred years, even the king respects him as an elder. While the bunnies and the bear meet the turtle, they told him the news about the monster as well. Turtle says, “There hasn’t been a monster since I was born. I don’t believe this one is true either.” and tells the bunnies and the coward bear not to run anymore. The bunnies listen to the elder and decide not to run forward, but the coward bear hides behind the rock, and hopes the monster is not true. Soon, the fox comes, “Run! RUN!!!! The monster is coming to ear us all!!!!” and runs forward with full speed. The bunnies follow him quickly. The bear jumps out of the rock and runs behind them. The turtle, however, is too slow to run and just shrinks inside his shell tries to hide from the monster.
