JACK AND THE ICE MONSTER
There ones was a boy named Jack and he lived on a big mountain covered in snow and ice. But on the bottom of the mountain was massive hole in the ground and inside it is a massive slug like monster that breaths ice. My mum told me about a girl who went into the hole and never came back. But I didn’t believe her so I went down to the hole and had a look I covered my mouth for a couple of seconds and there it was the massive slug like monster asleep. I accidentally stepped on a stick and woke it up so I ran straight back home. I looked outside and saw ice coming straight at the house and froze the house so we couldn’t get out I screamed “help!!!” but luckily dad was a miner so I grabbed the pickaxe and dug through the ice I took one more look in the hole and I saw three little baby monsters. So that’s when I knew that it wasn’t about territory it was about protecting its babies so I gave the monster some food and calmed it down and went back to its cave and lived haply ever after
