Munch the Friendly Monster
In a quaint village, Munch, a shy green monster with wild hair, struggles to make friends due to his frightening greetings. When a brave little girl named Lily crosses the bridge he guards, Munch's clumsy attempts at friendship lead to misunderstandings. Together, they learn the value of understanding and tolerance, as Munch discovers a gentler way to say hello and gains the acceptance he longs for.
Once, there was a big, green monster named Munch. Munch lived under a bridge in a quiet village surrounded by a forest. He desperately wanted friends but didn't know how to make any. Whenever villagers crossed his bridge, he would jump out and shout, 'BOO!' He thought it was a friendly greeting, but it only scared everyone away.
One sunny morning, Munch waited eagerly under the bridge, hoping for a friend. As footsteps approached, he readied himself for a 'BOO!' But this time, it was a little girl named Lily who crossed the bridge. She was humming a cheerful tune, unaware of the surprise waiting for her.
Munch jumped up and shouted his usual 'BOO!' Lily was so surprised that she fell down and scraped her knee. Tears welled up in her eyes as she sat on the ground. Munch felt terrible seeing her cry and realized he had made a mistake. He decided to come out and apologize.
Munch approached Lily cautiously, his big eyes full of concern. - I'm sorry, he said softly. Lily wiped her tears and looked at him, surprised to hear a monster speak so kindly. - You scared me! Lily exclaimed. - I just wanted to say hi, Munch explained. - Everyone runs away from me, he added sadly.
Lily listened to Munch's explanation and understood he meant no harm. - Why do you say 'BOO!' so loudly? she asked. - I thought that's how you say hello, Munch replied, looking down at his feet. Lily giggled at the idea. - People don't like loud noises, she said. - Try saying hello softly, like this: 'Hello, my name is Munch.'
Munch felt unsure but tried Lily's suggestion. - Hello, my name is Munch, he said in a gentle voice. Lily clapped her hands with delight. - Much better! she encouraged. Munch's face brightened with a big monster smile. He realized he didn't have to be loud to make friends.
From that day on, Munch practiced his new greeting with everyone who crossed the bridge. Some villagers were still cautious, but Lily stood by him, showing everyone that Munch meant no harm. - You're doing great, Lily said every time he succeeded. Munch felt more confident as he made new friends.
Over time, Munch became known as the friendly monster of the village. He no longer shouted 'BOO!' but waved and said, 'Hello, my name is Munch!' Villagers began to stop and chat with him, and some even brought him treats. Munch was finally happy, surrounded by friends who accepted him for who he was.
