Once upon a time, in a little town, there was a friendly monster named Gus.

Gus was big and furry, with bright green skin and two big, googly eyes.

Gus loved to tell his friends spooky stories, but nothing too scary, just fun ones that made everyone giggle.

One night, Gus decided to tell the spookiest, silliest story of all. But he didn't want his friends to be too scared!

So, Gus made sure to add lots of silly jokes and funny sounds to his story, like 'Boo-ahah!' and 'Boing-boing-boing!'

By the end of the story, all his friends were laughing so hard, they forgot to be scared at all. They cheered for Gus and his fantastic, friendly storytelling.

From that day on, whenever Gus told a story, everyone knew it would be full of fun and laughter, just like the friendly monster himself.
