The Luckless Monster 不走运的怪物

1. Monsters

Do you think you know all about monsters?

You’ve probably heard of the Big Bad Troll. He was

famous for frightening goats. You’ve probably heard of

the deadly dragon. It was famous for fighting knights. I’m

sure you’ve heard of the Loch Ness Monster. She’s famous

for ... being spotted.

‘There she is!’‘ Where?’‘ There!’

The Loch Ness Monster is so famous she’s even got her

own nickname. They call her Nessie. Niessie, the Loch Ness

Monster.

I’ve got a nickname too. Nessie calls me the Luckless

Monster.

1

She calls me Luckless because I never seem to have any

luck at all, but Luckless isn’t my real name.

My real name is Flossie.

‘Hello!’

This is where we live. It’s a a a bit

wet, but it is home to us. I love it here.

But it can be lonely.

I belong to the same family as Nessie. I live in the same

loch as Nessie. I swim in the same water. I hunt for the same

fish. But we do have our differences. But I’m a bit on the

small side. Sometimes Nessie calls me Titch or Shrimp. The

Loch Ness Monster swims down to the dark depths of the

loch. But I’m a bit scared of the dark. Sometimes Nessie

calls me Scaredy Cat. The Loch Ness Monster swims swift

and sure.

But I am not all that keen on water.

I don’t like the cold and wet. I don’t like the high waves.

I don’t like the deep pools and I HATE the whirlpool.

This is the whirlpool.

It goes round and round and round, and whatever is in the

whirlpool goes round and round with it.

Nessie LOVES it. ‘Wheee!’ she yells.

2

‘Yeeeeeeeeeeh!’ she yells and ‘come and have a go if you

think you’re brave enough!’

I had a go once. I HATED it. The water went up my nose, I

couldn’t see anything and I felt dizzy and sick.

‘You’re scared!’ Nessie teased, ‘you’re frightened!’

But I wasn’t frightened.

Nessie called me a landlubber, a chicken.

Nessie calls me lots of names: Titch! Scaredy cat! Cry baby!

To tell you the truth, Nessie is a bit of a bully. But nothing

Nessie can do would make me, get back in that whirlpool

again.

Never!

2. No one cares about YOU!

You probably know that the Loch Nessie Monster (or

Nessie for short) is good at hiding. We monsters have

learned the art of camouflage. This means we can hide by

changing our color or making ourselves look like other

things.

If someone spots Nessie, she changes.

‘There she is!’ ‘Oh, it’s just a rock.’ ‘There! There!

There!’ ‘It’s just an upturned boat.’

People who make films, and people who write for

3

newspapers and magazines, are always trying to spot Nessie.

They want to take her photo. They want to make a film

about her. They want her to be in their newspapers or

magazines.

She’s famous. She’s a celebrity.

Everyone tries to spot Nessie.

I WANT to be spotted. I want to be noticed. I want to be

made a fuss of. But no matter what I do, nobody notices me

at all.

That’s why Nessie calls me the Luckless Monster. ‘No one

knows you exist. No one cares if you exist!’ she says.

‘Na na na na na ’Nessie sings.

No one tries to take photos of you!

No one talks about you.

No one cares about YOU at all.’

It’s true. I don’t have any real friends.

There is Nessie of course- but she only talks to me when

she feels like it. She only plays with me when she feels like

playing. So I am lonely, and that is why I think Nessie is

right when she calls me the Luckless Monster.

3. How do you find a friend?

One day, I woke up and I said to myself, ‘Enough is

4

enough. Today is the day I will find a real friend, a good

friend. Nessie doesn’t care if she has a friend, but I do.’

I want someone who cares for me. I want someone who can

see the real me. But how do you find a friend?

I thought about this for a long, long time. I even asked

Nessie.

‘What exactly is a friend?’ I asked.

‘A friend is someone who is like you, just like you,’ she

said. ‘But on one is like us, so we CAN’T have friends.

Better just to settle for scaring people.’

Then she gave a roar that sent me skittering away.

‘It works for me,’ she grinned. ‘I love scaring people!’

But I didn’t give up. I was determined to find a friend.

I asked all the animals I met, ‘please be my friend.’

This is what they said:

‘Miaou! No! You are too wet. Go away!’ ‘No, you are too

big.’ ‘Buzz off!’ ‘I don’t give a hoot!’ ‘ve!’

‘Hop it!’ ‘Leg it! Leg it!’

They thought I was too big, too wet, too scary looking and

too fishy smelling. Then I asked some children and this is

what they said:

‘We saw a MONSTER.A BIG HORRIBLE MONSTER!’

5

‘Aghh!’ ‘Waaa! ’ ‘AAGGHH!’ The grown ups said,

‘Don’t be silly. There are no such things as monsters.

That’s just a shadow. Come along, now. Hurry up.’

It was hopeless. So I sulked. I’m very good at sulking. I

can do it for ages.

I stayed perfectly still, crossed my arms, drooped my

bottom lip and got ready for a HUGE sulk. I was just getting

into it, when I heard a noise.

A group of children were going up to a little girl. They

were saying things that sounded very familiar to me.

‘Titch!’ ‘Scaredy cat!’ ‘Cry baby!’ ‘Four eyes!’

The girl was crying and she was wearing glasses- but not

for long.

The other children took her glasses and started to pass

them to each other. ‘Here, catch!’

Each time she tried to grab them back they threw them to

someone else. They were throwing faster and faster and

harder and harder until-

SPLASH! The glasses landed in the water. They were light

and plastic. So they bobbed about on the surface. Then they

drifted in little circles.

The girl cried, ‘Oh, no!’

6

Some of the children said, ‘Ha, ha!’

Some said, ‘Oh, no, sorry.’

glasses in the water.

First she tried reaching for them, but they were too far out.

Then she tried to hook them with a branch, but that didn’t work. The glasses drifted further and further out.

Then the girl took a deep breath, and waded in after them.

They were going towards the whirlpool.

That’s when she should have given up- but on she went

and ... You can guess what happened next.

‘Aaagh!’ screamed the girl as she slipped and her head

went under the water. ‘AAAGH!’ She cried out again,

and down she went for the second time.

Well, I had no choice. A monster’s got to do what a

monster’s got to do!

I grabbed her and kept her head out of the water.

Then off we went.

First we swirled, then we whirled.

Then we swooshed and we whooshed.

Funnily enough, after

We almost started to enjoy it.

At last we landed in a soggy heap.

7

We were out of breath but safe and sound and the girl was

still holding onto her glasses.

She put her glasses on and peered at me, it must have been

the first time she had seen me clearly and she looked a little

surprised.

‘I know I look a little bit ... Different,’ I apologised.

‘That’s what people say about me!’ she said. ‘they think

I am different!’

‘Is that why those children were calling you names?’ I

asked.

She nodded.

‘I get called some of those same names,’ I said, sadly.

‘My real name is Flossie,’ I told her.

‘My real name is Fran,’ she said.

Then she smiled a little smile and said, ‘we should be

friends, be my friend?’

‘But I’m too big, I’m too wet, I’m too weedy,’ I said,

‘I’m different, too.’

‘We’re both different,’ Fran said. ‘So, in We’re both the same!’

She went on, ‘I like you. You’re kind and you’re friendly.

That’s what makes a friend for me.’

8

So we decided to be friends.

4. Can you see me?

Just then, the other children came rushing up to Fran.

Quick as quick, I made myself look like a very handsome

tree. Well, I don’t want them screaming and running away

or calling me names, do I?

The other children ran up to my new friend.

‘You’re so brave. It was lucky you grabbed hold of that

log. So clever. ’

Sometimes I can hide myself just too well. But I don’t

mind.

Now, Fran and I often play together. We swim. We play tig

and tag and hide and seek and skipping and football. I help

her- and she helps me.

Yes, she’s taught me to look at things differently.

Fran has lots of friends now but she’s still my friend too.

I’m often around. But not everyone can spot me.

It takes a real friend to see me.

Can you?
