Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lucy. She was three years old. One day, Lucy was in the kitchen and she was playing with a mop. She loved to mop the floors and make them all clean and white.
Suddenly, somebody burst through the kitchen door! Startled, Lucy dropped the mop and started to tremble. She looked up and saw a big scary monster. The monster growled and said, "Give me all the food you have here!"
Lucy tried to stay brave, but she couldn't stop trembling. She shook her head and said, "No. I can't give you all the food. I'm so sorry."
The monster seemed angry, but he leaned down and said, "Just don't be scared. I won't take all the food, I promise."
Lucy gave a tiny smile and the monster smiled back. He walked away with just a few pieces of food.
From that day onward, Lucy was no longer scared of monsters. Whenever she felt scared, she remembered the monster's kind words and her fear went away.
