The Monster and the Missing Cookies
By Triya Dwi P.
Early one morning,
Rara is reading her favorite book.
Suddenly, she hears a noise . . .
“ROAAAAAR!
I want cookies!
I will take them to my tower
and gobble them up.”
Who was that?
And why were they eating
her favorite cookies?
Rara wants her cookies back,
so she follows the crumbs
to her closet.
Inside she discovers
a fantastic forest!
Ahead, Rara sees the monster
crossing a swamp.
She quietly follows behind.
Rara hop, hop, hops
to stay out of the water.
Far ahead,
she sees the monster.
It is climbing a hill
covered in white bushes.
The hill is surrounded
by a lake of lava!
Rara must cross a narrow bridge
to get closer.
Rara finds the bushes are
soft and fuzzy,
like pom-poms!
She wants to stop and rest.
But she wants those cookies more!
But how will Rara cross the lake?
The pom-poms
make perfect stepping stones!
Safely across the lake,
Rara sees a cave.
She hides inside,
waiting for the right time
to grab the cookies.
Rara watches the monster
from inside the cave.
What is it doing?
When the monster goes away,
Rara comes out of the cave.
The cookies are on top of a tower!
How will Rara reach it?
Rara builds a stack of stones.
She climbs to the top.
But just as she reaches the cookies . . .
“ROAAAR!”
“Daddy Monster is hungry!
Give me the cookies!”
Rara gives her father a cookie.
“Why did you put the cookies up high,
Dad?”
“So you wouldn’t eat too many.”
Mom called.
“It’s time for lunch!”
Over lunch,
Rara tells everyone
about her fantastic adventure.
And they all have cookies for dessert.
