THE LAKE OF MONSTERS
Once upon a time, in a little village near Brussels called Tervuren, there was a big park and in the middle of the park there was an enormous wood and in that wood, there was adark and gloomy/sinister lake and in that lake there lived a Monster called M.
M had eaten all the other monsters who used to live in the lake and all the children who used to go near the side ofthe lake and so/for that reason, he had an enormous round tummy. It was so big that when the monster moved, it scraped along the bottom of the lake/ground and so that he could move better, he had tohold on to the branches of the trees around the lake and they were all broken and almost touching the water.
M the Monster was hungry; there was no more to eat; he had eaten all the monsters and thechildren didn't go near the side of the lake anymore because they were scared.
Until one day, near the lake, a group of children were playing football and one little boy kicked the ball so hard thatit landed/stopped near one corner of the lake.
M, who was getting more and more hungry every day, looked at the round thing near the corner of the lake and thought: I could eat that. So he went to thecorner, his tummy scraping along the ground and holding on to the branches of the trees and with one gulp/in one go/in one mouthful he swallowed the ball.
So the monsters and the children who wereinside his tummy began to play a game of football and one monster kicked the ball so hard that it exploded/blew up. All the air inside the ball began to escape and the monster's tummy began to getbigger and bigger until it too exploded.
So all the monsters came out of the monster's tummy and all the children went running home to tell their parents "we're here at last" and to tell them everythingthat had happened.
M's tummy was not big and round anymore and it didn't touch the ground and he was thin.
He could walk without holding/grabbing on to the branches of the trees, but most of all...
