Once upon a time a monster lived in a tower. But one day his tower started to disappear. A stranger came and said, "If you do what I say, your castle will come back. Go and find the golden key." So he did just what the stranger told him and he lived happily ever after.

Seven hundred years ago there lived a good man. He made potions in a tall tower. He wanted to drill to the centre of the earth. He was going well. Then there was a large air wave. The drill fell with him in it. He landed on a deserted island. He found himself stuck. He saw a dinosaur. It chased him. Then they started to make friends. The man fed the dinosaur leaves. The leaf eating dinosaur got fish for the man. They lived happily ever after.
