Once upon a time, there was a sad bear named Benny. He was sad because he never had any friends to play with. One day, while walking in the forest, he came across a group of animals who were afraid of a monster that lived in a nearby cave. Benny, being the brave bear that he is, decided to go check it out.
When he reached the cave, he was surprised to find that the monster was actually just a snoring dragon who was taking a nap! Benny was so angry that he woke up the dragon and scolded him for scaring all the animals in the forest. The dragon apologized and explained that he was just very sleepy.
In the end, everyone was happy, including Benny, who finally had some new friends to play with. The end.
