- She told her famous scary story of spotting a monster in those very woods. It was a cool day just like that day when she heard a rustling noise that was louder than the faint breeze that was blowing through the trees. She wondered what was out in the woods when she decided to go investigate the situation. She began to walk away from her tent when she saw something move in the distance and heard the snap of a fallen tree branch. She continued to see what broke the branch. As she was walking alone in the dark with the moon shining above, she saw something large with hair running past her. While she was walking her foot stepped into what seemed like a small depression in the earth when she suddenly saw the shadow of the large creature in the distance. She quickly realized that she had stepped in the large foot-like tracks from the monster.

- You wish to know all about my grandfather. Well, he is nearly ninety- three years old. He dresses himself in an ancient black frock coat usually minus several buttons yet he still thinks as swiftly as ever. A long flowing beard clings to his chin giving those who observe him a pronounced feeling of the utmost respect. When he speaks his voice is just a bit cracked and quivers a trifle. Twice each day he plays skillfully and with zest upon our small organ. Except in the winter when the ooze or snow or ice prevents, he slowly takes a short walk in the open air each day. We have often urged him to walk more and smoke less but he always answers “banana oil.” Grandfather likes to be modern in his language.
