Bob and
Spike were very different, but they got along well. They liked to play games,
tell jokes, and explore the forest. One day, they decided to go to the nearby
village and see what they could find.
“Let’s go
scare some humans!” Spike said excitedly.
“OK,” Bob
said reluctantly. “But don’t be too mean.”
They
sneaked into the village and hid behind some bushes. They saw a group of
children playing in the park.
“Watch
this,” Spike said. He jumped out of the bushes and roared loudly. The children
screamed and ran away.
“Ha ha ha!
That was hilarious!” Spike said.
Bob didn’t
think it was funny. He felt sorry for the children.
“Come on,
let’s find someone else to scare,” Spike said.
They walked
around the village and saw an old lady walking her dog.
“Here’s
another one,” Spike said. He ran towards the old lady and bared his teeth.
The old
lady screamed and dropped her dog’s leash. The dog barked and chased after
Spike.
“Help! Get
this thing off me!” Spike cried.
Bob
laughed. He thought it was funny.
He ran
after the dog and picked it up. He petted it and said,
“Good boy!
You’re so cute!”
The dog
licked his face and wagged his tail.
The old
lady came over and thanked Bob.
“You’re
very brave,” she said. “What’s your name?”
“I’m Bob,”
Bob said.
“You’re a
very nice monster,” she said.
“Thank
you,” Bob said.
She gave
him a cookie and went on her way.
Spike came
over and glared at Bob.
“What are
you doing?” he asked. “You’re supposed to scare people, not make friends with
them.”
“But I like
making friends,” Bob said. “It’s more fun than scaring people.”
Spike shook
his head.
“You’re not
a real monster,” he said. “You’re too funny.”
Bob smiled.
“Maybe
you’re right,” he said. “But I don’t mind being funny.”
He ate his
cookie and shared it with the dog.
He looked
at Spike and said,
“Do you
want some?”
Spike
sighed.
“OK,” he
said.
He took a
bite of the cookie and smiled.
“It’s not
bad,” he said.
Bob hugged
him and said,
“You’re not
so bad yourself.”
They
laughed and went back to their cave.
They were
still different, but they were still friends.
