Year 2 Comprehension 15: Friendly Monsters

Picnic Party

Once upon a time in the colourful Monster Meadow, lived a group of friendly monsters. There
was Sparkle the giggly purple monster, Gobble the green fuzzy monster, and Fluff the blue and
pink fluffy monster. One sunny day, the monsters decided to have a picnic party under the
rainbow trees. They invited all their monster friends from around the meadow. Everyone was
excited and brought delicious treats to share.

As they played games and laughed together, a tiny problem arose. Gobble accidentally bumped
into a tree, causing a swarm of rainbow-colored butterflies to flutter away, feeling scared.
Sparkle, being quick-witted, had an idea. She used her magical laughter to gently guide the
butterflies back to their meadow home.

Impressed by Sparkle's quick thinking, the butterflies decided to join the picnic too. They added
a touch of colourful magic to the party, making it even more joyful. The monsters and butterflies
danced, played, and shared stories until the sun started to set.

With full tummies and happy hearts, the monsters and butterflies thanked each other for the
wonderful time. From that day on, they all became the best of friends, always looking out for one
another and creating happiness in Monster Meadow. And whenever they had a picnic, the
colourful butterflies added a sprinkle of magic to their friendly gatherings.
