On an island far out at sea that no one ever visited, there 

lived a band of incredibly ugly monsters.

Some of the monsters swam and other monsters flew. 

There were monsters that climbed and monsters that had 

magical powers. There were monsters that like to hide and 

monsters that like to chase. There were plenty of 

monsters all over the place.

But the truth was that, even though the monsters were 

incredibly ugly and could do all sorts of strange things, 

they were very kind and lived happily together on the 

island.

They never used their abilities for evil and had all sorts of 

fun doing all sorts of things.

For instance, Gremlin and Genie liked to spend the day 

creating magic carpets for their friends.

And Cyclops and Giant were fond of hurling boulders while 

Wolfie, Gnome, Mummy, Frank, and Trolly played hide and 

Ghost seek whenever they could.

Every day was so much fun, and when the monsters were 

done playing on the island, they would all troop back to 

their castle and have dinner together.

They loved to eat whatever Dragon and the Queen had 

prepared for them and the table was always full of 

delicious treats like hamburgers, french fries, soups, 

steaks, turkey, and freshly baked bread. 

The monsters lived a good life on the island and thought 

that no one would ever bother them. 

But little did they know that an evil band of pirates was 

headed straight for their small island. The pirates had 

stolen a map of the island from the Minotaur, who had left 

many years ago in search of a mysterious maze of 

wonders. Minotaur had created a map to get back home to 

his friends   when his adventure was done, but he lost it 

during a surprise attack by the evil pirates who thought he 

had hidden a great treasure of gold, silver, and jewels on 

the island.

The pirates had stolen the map from Minotaur by ganging 

up on him and tying him up. They hid him in the center of 

the mystical maze so that he could not follow them. Then, 

they had immediately set sail in search of his treasures.

They vowed that any monsters who stood in the way of 

the treasure would simply have to be tied up and thrown 

into the sea.

The pirates made their plans as they sailed toward the 

island. They were so evil!

They planned to sneak on to the island at night when the 

monsters were asleep in their beds and surprise them so 

that they would not be able to fight back.

They would then tie the monsters up and make them eat 

broccoli until they told the pirates where the Minotaur's 

treasure was.

Once their plan was ready, they laughed their evil laughs 

all the way to the island.

The pirates got to shore and slowly crept up on the quiet 

castle.

When they got there, they broke all the windows, jumped 

inside, and scared the sleeping monsters awake.

The monsters tried to fight the pirates, but since they had   

no swords and knives to fight with, everyone was quickly 

captured. Only the Queen, Genie, and Giant were unable 

to be captured and tied up. The Queen and Genie used 

their magic to fight and Giant was too big to be caught.

Giant tried the best he could to grab the pirates from the 

window and take them outside. The Queen hurled magical 

spells at as many pirates as she could find. But despite turning 

many of the pirates into lizards, she could not get them all. 

They just kept coming.

Genie quickly thought up a plan and poofed over to the Pirate 

King where he said, "Finally great Pirate King, you have come 

to rescue me from these monsters. If you promise take me 

away from these pitiful creatures to sail the seas, I will tell you 

where my lamp is and serve you, for you are obviously a 

greater leader than the Queen."

And the Pirate King, who had always wanted his very own 

genie, went to find the Genie's lamp while the rest of the 

pirates continued to fight the Queen.
