The Monster
Herb heard a terrible sound
outside. He looked outdoors and saw the ugliest monster he'd
ever seen. It was half animal and half machine.
He called the mayor for
help. "Does it have a long nose that looks like a
hose," the mayor asked?
"Yes," said Herb.
"Does it make a lot of
noise, and suck with its large nose," the mayor asked?
"Yes, and it just sucked
up my back porch," said Herb.
"It is the Vacuumasaurus,"
said the mayor. "I will be right over to stop it,"
he said.
Herb wondered how anyone
could stop the terrible monster. He was very worried and
scared. He sat in his chair reading a book when the roof of
his house disappeared.
"I hope the mayor
arrives soon," Herb said. "Soon I will have no
house to live in."
Herb looked outdoors and saw
the mayor. The noise had stopped. The sucking had
stopped. The mayor was stepping on the foot of the
Vacuumasaurus.
"Don't worry
Herb," said the mayor. "I have turned the monster
off."
So Herb sat down to finish
reading his book.
