The Red Monster that Cried |
|
|
A long, long time ago, over the mountain and through the pass, deep in the mountains away from all the people there lived a red monster and blue monster. The red monster liked human children, and he was always thinking about how to become friends with them. |
|
Red monster: |
I'm such a nice red monster, I wonder why nobody will come play with me. I even prepared snacks and drinks. |
|
Blue monster: |
Hey, red monster, you wanna be friends with human kids that bad? |
|
Red monster: |
Yeah, I do. |
|
Blue monster: |
Well, I have a good idea. Listen to this. |
|
Red monster: |
Ahh. |
|
Blue monster: |
Then... |
|
Red monster: |
Yeah. |
|
Blue monster: |
What do you think? |
|
Red monster: |
Yeah, yeah! |
|
Blue monster: |
Got it? Okay, let's go take a bath. |
|
|
The next day, some kids are playing in the forest. |
|
Kid: |
If you wanna play hide and seek, stand here. Juggling, hopscotch, we've got it all! Everyone get over here and let's have some fun! |
|
Blue monster: |
Arr, arr, arr. You're annoying! This is my exercise time. Go away! One, two, three, four, arr, arr, arr, five, six, seven, eight, arr, arr, arr. |
|
Kid: |
Help! |
|
Red monster: |
Umph, umph, umph. You evil blue monster! Stop your exercise soon - otherwise I'll do this! One, two, three, four, ah, ah, ah, five, six, seven, eight, ah, ah, ah. |
|
Blue monster: |
I'm sorry! Forgive me, powerful red monster. I won't do it again, so please forgive me! |
|
Red monster: |
Relax, kids. The evil blue monster is gone. He's gone back to the mountains. |
|
Kids: |
Thank you red monster! The red monster that is gentle and strong and beat up the evil blue monster! Let's play together! Will you be the monster for hide and seek? |
|
Red: |
Is it really okay? |
|
Kids: |
Yeah! |
|
|
Everyone is having a good time playing, and then the first star appears. |
|
Kids: |
The first star has appeared. It's time to go home. Good night red monster. See you tomorrow. Good night everyone, see you tomorrow. |
|
Red Monster: |
Everyone's gone home. That was really fun! Good night kids. See you tomorrow. Okay, I wonder what blue is doing. Huh, what's a letter doing in a place like this. |
|
Letter: |
Dear Red, |
|
|
If the kids found out that you were friends with the evil blue monster, you'd lose them. That's why we can never meet again. I will go far away. Please find a way to get along with the kids. Goodbye. |
|
|
Blue |
|
Red: |
Blue's gone away. He was such a good friend, and now he's gone. |
| The red and blue monster never saw each other again. |
