Once upon a time there lived a small girl with 

bright red hair and rosy pink cheeks. Her fiery 

spirit lit up each room and no bully at school 

dared to pick on her. Rosalynn also had a 

loving and caring nature. She was so caring 

that her parents let her have a little white 

kitten to care for. 

Many of her friends needed a night light to 

keep the monsters at bay, but not sweet little 

Rosalynn. All she needed was her gusto and 

confidence that flowed in abundance.   Nothing 

scared Rosalynn. She could conquer any 

monster that came her way. She was always 

ready for any boogie man under the bed or 

dark shadow in the closet. In fact, she waited 

in excited anticipation to actually see a real life 

monster one day.  

One still, quiet night when all creatures 

seemed to be slumbering in their cozy beds, 

there came a distant sound of a curious 

pursuit. “Rustle rustle rustle" sounds came 

from her dark bedroom. Suddenly, the wind 

knocked hard against the window in a violent 

protest, startling her but, of course, not really 

scaring her. 

Carefully listening to the dark void before her 

in the general direction of her closet, she 

strained her eyes while holding her breath. 

She waited and waited, but nothing... just 

darkness and quietness. Slowly reaching the 

round tips of her toes to the floor, she found 

her way closer to the closet, tripping over her 

sleeping white kitten. With a soft mew and a 

sharp scurry, her kitten was alert and ready to 

pounce by her side. 

Still in darkness, she decided that a flashlight 

might prove helpful in discovering what lurked 

in the closet. After a brisk search for her trusty 

flashlight she found it under her pillow. “Click” 

and the flashlight lit up her bed. Slowly she 

followed the room with the flashlight. She 

abruptly halted at the closet. Nothing there, 

just her clothes and toys neatly placed. She 

turned her head slightly in confusion, “I’m sure 

there was something in there,” she mumbled 

to herself.    

Deciding that her imagination tricked her, she 

turned off her flashlight and started to lift her 

covers. She hastily realized that something 

pulled the covers right out of her hand and 

then made a high pitch squeal. Shocked, she 

dropped the flashlight and fumbled to find it.  

She finally brought the spotlight onto a huge, 

furry monster in her bed.

Excited and overjoyed to see a real life 

monster, she barely realized that this large 

creature was shivering in adamant fear.

The creature was curled up in a tight furry ball of 

nervous fear. Laughter filled the dark room as 

Rosalynn rolled and hollered for several minutes. 

"How could such a large, intimidating creature be 

scared of me?" she thought. Soon she realized 

that this guy needed reassurance that he was 

safe and out of harm. So with one big jump she 

hugged his large furry neck and told him that 

everything was ok. His furry shoulders slowly 

lowered and he stopped his violent, fearful 

shaking. Holding back tears of fright, he asked 

her, “Where am I?”

“My bedroom!“ she proclaimed, with pride and 

hospitality. “What are you so afraid of?” she 

asked with a small giggle. “You,” the creature 

replied, slightly raising his head to look at her.  

“But why, silly? I’m just a little girl and you’re 

a big monster,” she proclaimed. “Monster?” he 

questioned, “What’s a mon-sst-errr?”

Laughing again, she replied, “You, of course. A 

creature that is big and scary with fur and a 

beak … just like you”.
