Once upon a time, there was a monster named Mo who lived in a big castle. One day, while Mo was cleaning his castle with a mop, a little mouse named Mickey scurried in. "Hi Mo! I need your help," said Mickey. "I have a map that leads to a treasure guarded by a monkey, but I'm too scared to go alone."
Mo, being the kind monster he was, agreed to help Mickey find the treasure. They set off on their adventure and soon found themselves facing the monkey guarding the treasure. But instead of attacking, the monkey offered them a glass of milk as a peace offering.
As they drank the milk, they realized the monkey was actually just lonely and wanted some friends to share the treasure with. So Mo and Mickey decided to stay and play with the monkey, discovering that true friendship and fun were the real treasures all along. THE END.
