He was very, very hungry.


A stingray swam past.
A dolphin swam past.
“I’m going to eat you!” the sea monster roared.
“I’m going to eat you!” the sea monster roared.
The stingray tickled him and got away.
The dolphin jumped high and low and got away.
A pirate ship sailed past.
A whale swam past.
“I’m going to eat you!” the sea monster roared.
“I’m going to eat you!” the sea monster roared.
The crew gave him their biggest barrel of biscuits.
The whale sprayed him with water and got away.
The sea monster gobbled them all up.
A mermaid swam past. The pirates sailed away.
“I’m going to eat you!” the sea monster roared.
Now the sea monster did not feel hungry at all.
