Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Max who lived in a jungle with his mother. One day, Max saw a giant monster with a big mouth and ran to tell his mother. His mother told him not to worry and that the monster was just misunderstood.

Max didn't believe her so he decided to go see for himself. When he got there, he saw the monster crying because it had lost its baby monkey and couldn't find it. Max felt sorry for the monster and offered to help. Together, they searched the jungle until they found the baby monkey.

The monster was so grateful that it offered Max some milk as a thank you gesture. Max was surprised to see that the monster wasn't scary at all, but was kind and friendly. From that day on, Max and the monster became great friends and would often play together in the jungle.

The end.
