Once upon a time, there was a character who loved to sing and dreamt of being the star of their own story. They were ready for an adventure full of surprises and fun. But there was a twist—a scary monster was waiting at the end of the story!
As the story went on, our hero started to worry about the monster. They wondered if being in a story with such a creature was a good idea. Would the story have a happy ending, or would it be scary? The hero felt a mix of excitement and fear, unsure of what would happen next.
To avoid meeting the monster, the hero thought about hiding. They considered sneaking behind a lamppost, a tree, or even a stop sign. The hero thought that maybe the best plan was to stay away from the monster altogether.
In the end, the hero decided they didn’t want to meet the monster. They bravely chose to leave the story before the monster appeared. They asked everyone to stop watching, showing how much they wanted to avoid the scary encounter.

It makes us think about how we balance our curiosity with caution and the choices we make when we face something unknown. The hero’s journey reminds us that it’s okay to be curious, but it’s also smart to stay safe!
