The Boy and the Monster Find a Treasure
Copyright © 1975, 1996 Morris Hirsch
For Alex
Once upon a time there was a boy,
and a monster.
When they first met they were enemies,
but then they became friends,
and had many adventures.
This is one of them.
The monster had told the boy about how he
always
got tricked out of the treasures he found,
and the boy thought that was not fair.
"We could go on adventures together,"
he said.
"They wouldn't be able to trick both of us."
One day,
the monster came to see the boy,
and he was carrying a map.
