โMonster Villeโ
Are you scared of monsters? If youโre brave enough then come with me, come on, itโll be fun. I am going on a trip to a village where all those monsters roam around. I take the โ106 Monster Expressโ. I have some friends who live there_, wait train, wait I have to go to the village of monsters! Wait, wait, wait!_ Oh, sorry, I was talking to you so much that I almost forgot about my train! Now where was I? Oh yes, thereโs Achoo, I know thatโs a funny name, but itโs true, she sneezes all the time! Thereโs also Smelly and Slimy, they are the stinkiest and the slimiest monsters youโll ever see. Oh, and another thing about Stinky and Slimy. _ Here we are at our first stop, the village of monsters, also known as Monster Ville. _ Oh no, no, no, no. Itโs Slimy! He likes_; he got me, didnโt he? As I was saying, he and Smelly like to hug a lot. Their mom couldnโt choose their names over Hugsome and Huggy, or Smelly and Slimy! The mayor, my friend is Sleepy. I think you know what she does all day. Iโll give you a hint, it rhymes with peep. Yes, thatโs right, sleep! Let me give you this warning, if you try and wake her up, sheโll use you as a teddy bear, sometimes even as a pillow! Last, but not least, Scarific, he likes to scare people out of their wits! If you act brave and donโt scream, then Scarific will keep on scaring you, so you better scream! And that my friend, all my monster friends are at Monster Ville! I hope youโll come with me one day to the village of monsters!ย
