Read Write and Predict #4

Gordon lay in his bed, listening for sounds. CRUNCH! GROAN! SLOBBER! GRRRR!

There it went again. He pulled the covers over his head but the noises wouldn’t go away. He slipped out of bed and turned his light on. He stood, looking around. He walked over to his closet and opened it. There was nothing in there except for his toys and his clothes. He dropped to his knees and lifted the covers.

"HI!" the monster said, sliding out from under the bed. Gordon was about to scream when the monster put his fingers to his lips. "Shhh! Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you."

Gordon didn’t say a word. He stared at the monster. It was purple, had big yellow spots all over its skin, two fat horns sticking out of the top of its head, sharp claws on its feet and chubby fingers. Its lips were bright green and its eyes were orange. Gordon noticed a tear running down its face. "Why, why are you crying?" he stuttered. Because I have a cut can you please help me. “Of course,” said Gordon. Gordon bent down and saw a cut on his leg he got a cloth and started to clean it up. A couple of months passed and Gordon and the monster were best friends but one night the monster came to see Gordon and he was crying again he told Gordon that he missed his Mum and Dad. Gordon said ok so he was going to go the next night but he is going to come back and see Gordon. The next night came and the monster was packed to back home “Goodbye Gordon” said the monster “ Goodbye” said Gordon back until next time.
