Description: Once, in a cave, lived a horrible ugly monster. Perhaps the most horrible and ugly monster in the world.

So ugly is the monster that he can turn a blue sky to snow and evaporate a pond just by dipping his toe in it. No living thing can stand to be in his presence. But the monster is not ugly on the inside: he’s just lonely. So he decides to build some friends out of stone, but even stones can’t stand the full force of the monster’s smile, and they all shatter...except for one.
Notes: A Borzio Book.
