The king realised something had to be done straight away. He wrote a letter to all the bravest warriors in the Kingdom asking for their help to fight the monster Credular. He sent his servant out to post the letter to all corners of the Kingdom.
Day’s passed by, all of the most courageous warriors reached the Grand Hall, all on time to listen to the King's speech. The King said, “thank you for coming, you are the bravest warriors in the whole Kingdom, you must go to the dark side of the Kingdom and capture the monster Credular and bring back my captured warriors.”
(Marya 4C)
The warriors stood at the entrance to the cave and the first warrior said “ I can hear some howling and screaming, it is smelly and there is blood and bones everywhere we need to be careful.” Then, as they crept inside they heard a howl as loud as thunder One of the warriors whispered “he is huge, we need to make a plan.”
