The Big Ugly Monster and the Little Stone Rabbit

Once, in a cave, lived a horrible ugly monster. Perhaps the most horrible and ugly monster in the world. So ugly is the monster that he can turn a blue sky to snow and evaporate a pond just by dipping his toe in it. No living thing can stand to be in his presence. But the monster is not ugly on the inside: he’s just lonely. So he decides to build some friends out of stone, but even stones can’t stand the full force of the monster’s smile, and they all shatter...except for one.
