Once upon a time there was an ugly monster. The monster was scared of everything and never wanted to try anything new. He was so scared he almost never left his house.
One day, the monster decided he wanted to learn how to make popcorn. He tried and tried to make popcorn but he struggled. He could not seem to succeed.
But finally, the monster put his mind to it, and the popcorn started to pop! Soon enough he was enjoying a delicious bowlful of popcorn - yummy! He tried again and again, and he started to get better and better.
Before long, he was a popcorn expert! He was so excited that he finally succeeded in making popcorn that he gave some of his popcorn to all his friends. They all loved it and thanked him for his delicious popcorn.
The monster was so happy that he had succeeded. He wasn't scared anymore and he tried lots of new things. He had learnt that if he even if something was a little bit tricky, he could do it if he kept trying.
