A bedtime story

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Hunter.

One day, Hunter was walking in the woods. While he was walking, he came upon a great big bear.

"I will eat you up," said the bear.

"I will bonk you if you try," said Hunter.

The bear tried to eat Hunter, but Hunter bonked the bear until it fell down.

A while later, Hunter came upon a huuuuuge snake.

"I will eat you up," hissed the snake.

"I will bonk you if you try," said Hunter.

The snake tried to eat Hunter, but Hunter bonked the snake until it fell down.

A while later, Hunter came upon a giant scorpion.

"If you try to eat me, I will bonk you," said Hunter.

"If you try to bonk me, I will sting you," said the giant scorpion.

"You don't want to eat me?" asked Hunter.

"You don't want to bonk me?" asked the scorpion.

"No," said Hunter.

"Then we should be friends," said the scorpion, and he gave Hunter a ride all the way back home, and Hunter arrived in time for dinner. Everyone was very glad to meet such a friendly scorpion, so they gave the scorpion dinner, too.

And they all lived happily ever after.
