Killing The Monster
Steven was the greatest king in the world. He liked playing sports as he was very strong and fit. Things went
horribly wrong when a monster snatched a princess and took her away to the forest. The monster then
returned to damage King Steven’s castle. King Steven was very scared. Then a boy called Jordan came and
talked to the king. Jordan said, ‘I can help you to fight the monster, but you need to give your castle to me.’
The king thought and then said, ‘Yes, if you kill the monster and bring the princess back, I will give my
castle to you and the princess will marry you.’ Jordan and King Steven shook hands and Jordan went on his
way.
Jordan wanted to have a good sword to defeat the monster, so he went to the weapon shop and talked
to the owner. Jordan said, ‘I want to have a good sword.’ The owner replied, ‘I can help you to make the
sword, but you need to give me a lot of gold. I love gold.’ Jordan gave a lot of gold to the owner. The
owner felt very happy and excited. Then the owner gave Jordan a good sword. Jordan could use this sword
very well and he loved it.
After that, Jordan rode on a horse and went to the forest. He wanted to bring the princess back and
kill the monster. In the forest, he saw some bad people and they were fighting with some villagers.
Jordan helped the villagers to kill the bad people. Some people said thank you to Jordan. Then
someone said, ‘I can help you find the monster, but you need to kill the monster because the monster always
kills our villagers. We hate it a lot.’ Jordan said, ‘Okay, I’ll go there because I want to kill the monster.’
Jordan helped the villagers to do many things. Although Jordan was very busy, he loved it.
After that, the villagers took Jordan to the monster’s home. It was very dirty. Nobody liked it there.
Jordan saw the monster and used his sword to fight the monster. The monster fought Jordan too, but Jordan
was better than it. The monster was furious. It wanted to kill him. Then Jordan used his sword to kill the
monster.
In the end, Jordan took the monster back to the castle and talked to King Steven. Jordan said. ‘I killed
the monster and brought the princess back. So you need to give your castle to me.’ The king said, ‘Oh!
You’ve done it, but I don’t want to give you my castle because I like this castle and thought you wouldn’t
bring the princess back.’ So Jordan killed King Steven as he would not keep his word.
