Once, there was a boy who was afraid of the dark. He thought that when it was dark his bedroom filled
up with monsters. But there came a time when he was too old to be allowed to keep. Sleeping with the
light on. That first night he was paralysed with fear, and his mind was full of monsters. So much so, that
he went over to his wardrobe to get a torch. But when he opened the wardrobe door he came face to
face with a monster, and he let out the loudest scream in the world.
The monster was equally shocked. It grabbed its multicolored hair and started crying. The monster cried
for so long that the boy's shock and fear subsided. He calmed the monster as much as he could, and
started talking to him, asking him why he was crying, and what he was doing there. The monster told
him it lived in the wardrobe, but never went out, because it was afraid of the boy. When the boy asked
for the reason, the monster told that the boy's face seemed to be the most horrible thing it had ever
seen with eyes, ears and a nose. The boy felt exactly the same way about the monster, who had an
enormous head full of hair.
Eventually, they realized that both of them had been afraid of the same thing: the unknown. To lose
their fear of each other all they had to do was get to know each other. They applied the same strategy
to the other things. Together they travelled the world, seeing lions, tigers, crocodiles and even dragons.
It was the first time either of them had seen such creatures, but they made the effort to get to know
them, and ended up dispelling their fear, and becoming friends. All kinds of creatures visited the boy's
bedroom each night and, instead of fearing them he learnt to get to know them and befriend them.
