Splash Monster is Coming! MINH PHƯƠNG LÊ BÌNH Once upon a time, there was a large lake surrounded by a lot of fig trees . One windy day, ripen figs fell like rain onto the lake . SPLASH! SPLASH! Hearing the noise, rabbits startled and ran . The scared rabbits ran screaming. -Run! Run! The Splash monster’s coming! The Splash monster’s coming! Having no idea about what’s going on, Monkey and Fox also started running in panic. The monster news spread like wildfire . Deer, Boar, Buffalo, Elephant, Bear… all ran like crazy for their lives. Witnessing the chaos, the old Lion roared. -What on earth is the Splash monster? I have never heard about it before . With all those fangs and claws, why are you guys trying to escape cowardly without fighting? Deer said. -I heard Elephant screaming “The Splash monster’s coming! Run, run!”, so I just kept running breathlessly!” Rabbit replied. -The monster kept roaring “Splash, splash”, it’s really scary! Leopard added. -Bear also said that the monster was so horrible! Fox said. -Rabbit told me that a monster was coming, so I just ran right away. Lion told Rabbit to lead him to the lake . Seeing the fallen fruits in the lake, Lion asked laughing. -Is this your Splash monster? All the scared animals calmed down and hada look again, just to find they all had a vain fear.
