Once upon a time, there was a large, strong animal named Horace. Horace had big hooves, antlers and left tracks wherever he went. One day, Horace was feeling lonely and wanted to find a friend. As he was walking, he noticed a shed in the distance. Without hesitation, he ran towards it. But when he got there, he realized it was not just any ordinary shed, it was the home of a claw monster! Horace was scared, but he was also very brave, so he decided to face the monster. To his surprise, the monster was actually very friendly and they quickly became friends. From that day forward, Horace and the claw monster spent all their time together, playing and having fun. And whenever they went on adventures, they always left their tracks behind, as a reminder of their amazing friendship.
