Once upon a time, there was a little otter named Ollie. Ollie lived in a river with his family. They liked to swim and play all day. One day, Ollie saw something terrible. A big, scary monster was near the river. Ollie was very scared.
The monster had big eyes that would blink very fast. Ollie didn't know what to do. He swam back to his family and told them about the monster. They all decided to talk to the monster and see if it was nice or mean.
Ollie's mom said, "Hello, monster. Are you nice or mean?" The monster blinked and said, "I am not mean. I am just big and scary looking. I want to be friends." Ollie and his family were happy to hear that. They all became friends with the monster and played together in the river. From that day on, they were not scared of the terrible monster anymore.
