Chapter 1 Pongo Valley

Pongo Valley is where monsters live. The monsters that live in Pongo Valley are  omnivores. “Hon,” called Aleena.  “What?” called  Freddy.

Well, before we start,  Aleena  is a lady  monster  and Freddy is a  man monster.

So  back  to  the  story.

“I  am  going  to  have  a  baby!”  replied  Aleena. Freddy rushed over as a baby monster popped  out!

“Lets name him Fred,” said  Aleena.

“Yes, let’s  name him Fred,”  said  Freddy.

“I’ll feed him the  berries I just  picked,” said  Aleena.

The  next  month  Fred  was  walking! Fred was happy because he found out he was going to have a baby sister. Fred was also happy because he made four new friends named Reb, Frent, Greela and  Ara. They were all boys.

Four more years passed and Fred’s baby sister was born. Her name was Lucille. Three more years passed and Lucille had no friends except herself. It was no fair. Fred was seven now and he was not sharing his friends with a three year old.

Lucille always got left out in games so she always had to do chores. She would do things like pick berries and sew clothes for her mom. 

One day Lucille snuck up on Fred and in front of his friends Lucille yelled, “Bath time for Fred!” Fred was so angry that he chased Lucille to the bath where Aleena was standing. Aleena picked Fred up and put him in the bath. Fred cried as Lucille walked out of the room.   

“Daddy.” called Lucille. “Yes.” called Daddy. “Can we read?” said Lucille. “Yes.” said Daddy. “Let’s read The Red Button .” said Lucille. “Ok.” said Daddy.

One day a little red button fell off a shirt . 

It rolled in the gutter and it rolled in a shoe.

It rolled in a tunnel and it rolled to you and you picked it up and sowed it on a shirt .

        

                        THE                        END!”

Meanwhile Aleena had read to Fred “Bear Bus”.   

                        “Bear Bus “

The bear bus travels through the town with little bears in it.

But one day the bear bus came to you and you hopped on it and rowed  away.

               THE                               END!”

Then Fred and Lucille went to bed. The next day Fred ran over to Ara. Ara  was the biggest. “Ara let’s gang up on Lucille.” said Fred. “Ya!” said Ara. “Lucille went to pick berries let’s follow her.”said Fred.

Fred and Ara pulled Lucille’s hair. Lucille got mad! She ran home and told Aleena. Aleena put Fred and Ara in time out. 

The next day Lucille made a friend! Fred picked berried and cleaned. So did Ara. Night fell and Lucille and Fred read

               My                        Picture

Then they went to sleep. The next day Fred and Lucille went on a trip. Lucille and Fred and Aleena and Freddie all picked lots of berries for the trip. 

Chapter 2 The Long Way to Go

They walked until lunch time. Then they ate their berries. Lucille picked more berries. Soon they came across a lake. Fred pushed Lucille into the lake. Lucille fell with a splash. Fred laughed. Lucille swam. 

When Lucille got out she had no hat or berry basket. She was sad. But at least she did not lose her things. Her things were wet. She ran back into the water. She called her parents and brother over. They swam across, got out of the water, and kept walking. 

Finally at sundown they got to Grandma’s cabin. “Grandma, Grandma!” They called. Grandma was dressed old fashioned. Grandma was always funny. She wore a bonnet and boots. She said: “Get some dress up on!” So they did.

The monsters spent the night. The next day they had to leave. Grandma gave Lucille a new dress. It had stripes. Well, it wasn’t really a dress, but it was cool anyway. Grandma gave Fred a cape with the letter F on it. 

This time they walked day and night... walk... walk... walk... walk... walk... walk... walk.

Lucille was so happy when they got to Grandpa’s house. Grandpa was happy too. It was dark by the time they got there. 

“Grandpa’s in his p.j.’s,” said Fred. 

Chapter 3 The Wonder

“Get p.j.’s on,” said Grandpa. So they did. 

Grandpa wore his puffy slippers. Lucille wore her gown and her puffy hat with curls hanging down. Fred wore his cape with a weird onesie thing and a puffy hat. Grandpa laughed. Everyone was so happy. It was like Christmas.

Lucille’s dress had snowflakes on it and Fred’s pajama’s had a snow mountain on it. The next day...

When Lucille and Fred woke up, they looked out the window and screamed! White covered the island everywhere. The grown ups came rushing in.

Chapter 4 The Snowman

“Oh!” exclaimed Grandpa. “This is snow. You see, we grown ups kept it a secret that it would snow.” 

Lucille and Fred had never seen snow and never knew what it was. 

“SNOW!” screamed Lucille. “Snowman!” screamed Fred. “We see snow! We see snow!” they both sang.

“Let’s make a snowman,” said mom. “And snow angels,” Grandpa added. The snowman was big. The angels were fun.

Snowball fight!

They played all day. Soon the whole area was covered with Lucille and Fred’s snow art. A great thing happened. It snowed even harder. Soon everyone was white. 

Chapter 5 Wow!

The wow about this chapter is that it snowed so hard, right? But then the sun comes out. Lucille and Fred become sad and lost and have a cold heart. They are so sad that they SCREAMED!

They screamed so loud that the world went dark! The sun’s heart felt so sad because he thought everyone liked him. The sun did not shine through the rest of December. But the monsters made up a month called sun month. This made the sun happy and shiny. And shinier and shinier until... the whole world lit up and it was sun month. 

“Sun month!” screamed Lucille and Fred. 

SUN!

Lucille and Fred sent the sun presents to celebrate. The sun wanted to send a gift too, so he made Aleena pregnant! Nine months later she had a little girl. She named her Swirl. Swirl loved the sun and the sun changed. But the wind blew dark clouds into the sky. 

“Wind is stronger than sun,” said the horrible wind. Sun took off his sunglasses and started to cry.

“NO!” screamed Lucille and Fred. “Sun is powerful too!” they shouted. They started to Blow! Harder and harder and harder and harder... until sun was powerful too. Sun blew with them and they blew the clouds away. 

Sun! Fireworks! They play with the sun! Sun! 

The monsters go home. They are a family of five now. They all have friends. They all are happy. They take a family picture. 

Chapter 6 Friends!

Sun is good but wind can be good too. Sun is fun. Wind can be fun too. Adventures. Adventures are fun. You are fun. Sun! Sun! Sun! Friends! Love! Monsters! 

Fred, Freddie, Swirl, Lucille, Aleena, Grandpa, and Grandma - Pongo Valley.

        THE END!
