Answer:
As Dad was tucking us into bed and he switched off our light. My sister said, "I still do not believe in Monsters and Fairies". I think I went to sleep at about 10 o'clock.
I kept looking out the window at the full moon which was very bright. The trees were waving in the strong wind. I could hear wolves and possums in the trees.
That night as the window swung open a Monster jumped through the window and snatched me out of my bed. The Monster had red eyes, big fangs and was dribbling and looking very hungry.
When I woke up I was in a dark scary cave. The cave was misty and hard to breathe in. Then I heard a buzzing sound and a few seconds later I saw mini fairies with swords and gold shiny armour. Their swords were as sharp as the Monster's fangs.
Above me the black scary Monsters and the fairies had a big punch up.
When the Monster and the fairies were fighting I slipped away and ran to my house.
This time I really did live happliy ever after.
