The Death of the Monster

The Monster carries the old lady to a cave in the side of a hill.

There he sets her down and eats the cookies. The lady is unconscious from shock so the Monster leaves. In the morning the woman wakes up and doesn't know where she is for a moment, then remembers her horrible experience from last night. She realizes that the Monster is gone. Several minutes later the Monster returns from his midnight adventure with the old lady's whole store on his back.

The monster points at the bag of cookies, then at the old lady, then at the store. "Oh, I get it you want me to make you more cookies. Right?"

The monster grunts and nods his head. The woman goes into the store and starts making cookies.

Meanwhile, the army general sends out scouts to follow the monster's footprints. The group of scouts see the old woman in the store, so they go back to the general.

"General! General! The monster has built a prison, and the lady is inside!"

"Wow! This monster is smarter then I thought. Tell me exactly what you saw, soldier."

"Well, we were following the monster's footprints when we saw a little building. We crept in for a closer look. There was smoke coming from a chimney, and we saw a woman through one of the windows."

"What was the woman doing?" asked the general.

"It looked like she was cooking."

"Cooking?"

"The Monster kidnapped my wife because of the cookies she made. Maybe the Monster built a kitchen and is making her bake him cookies," said the very distressed husband of the captured woman.

"Could you bake us some of your wife's cookies as a distraction?" the scout said hopefully.

"Sure. I thought up the recipe."

So the general, the old man, and the scout went to where the bakery used to be. "Where did my store go?!" asked the old man.

"Maybe, instead of building a kitchen, the Monster just took this one," suggested the general unhappily.

"Well, we still need those cookies General, so I'll get him to a kitchen."
