Everyone was scared of Grumpo. He was always mad and if anyone tried to
talk to him he would yell and scream at them. Everyone tried to stay out of
his way.
Until one day when little Nicie Wicie saw Grumpo grumbling along. She was
the cutest little bitty monster, probably the smallest in all of Monsterton
City. Nicie decided to go cheer up Grumpo. She walked over to him and said,
"Good morning. My name is Nicie. What is your name"?
All of the monsters that were close by stopped to watch Grumpo's reaction.
As usual, he started yelling. "Leave me alone!! I don't want to talk to anyone."
Nicie started crying and ran away. The next day Nicie saw Grumpo standing
in the same spot. She walked up to him, but this time she didn't say
anything. She just stood there in silence. When Grumpo finally looked down
at her she handed him a cup with something in it. He took the cup and
looked at it for a long time.
All of the monsters were watching to see what Grumpo would do.
After looking at the cup for a long time Grumpo decided to go ahead and
drink it.
Like magic as soon as Grumpo drank what was in the cup he started feeling
happier. He also started shrinking. He was getting smaller and smaller.
The other monsters watched in amazement.
He shrunk until he was the same size as Nicie. He didn't know what was in
the cup but Grumpo felt happy. He also wanted to play. Grumpo and Nicie
spent the rest of the day playing together and with the other monsters.The
next morning though, the old Grumpo was back. Big and mean and cranky as
ever. That is until Nicie was able to give him her magic drink. Grumpo
drank the gift and turned into a playful happy monster.
This was the way it was from then on. Grumpo would wake up grouchy. He
would drink the magic drink that Nicie would bring him. Then he was nice
and happy for the whole day.
One day another monster asked Nicie what was in the cup. She replied,
"Coffee. What, you don't think this is what I look like first thing in the
morning, do you?""
