Trouble On The Way To School

One morning, on my way to school, the strangest thing happened to me. This is what happened...

I was walking by a tree, and a great big, hairy monster jumped down right in front of me. And I jumped. I was scared and said, “What do you want?”

The monster said, “YOU.”

I asked, “Why?”

He said, “Come with me.”

I said, “NO!”, and ran off.

Later, at the last recess, I saw him at the gate, climbing over.

When he got over, he walked toward me. I ran to the teacher. The teacher ran to the principal. And the principal shooed him off.

So, I was going home, and he jumped out again. And so the next day, I carried a knife in my pocket and cut off his head.

THE END
