  • - The Monster at the End of This Book.

  • - What did that say?

  • On the first page, what did that say?

  • Did that say there will be a monster

  • at the end of this book?

  • (gasps) It did?

  • Oh, I am so scared of monsters.

  • - Shh.

  • Listen, I have an idea.

  • - If you do not turn any pages,

  • we will never get to the end of this book.

  • And that is good

  • because there is a monster at the end of this book.

  • So please do not turn the page.

  • - You turned the page.

  • - Maybe you do not understand.

  • You see, turning pages will bring us

  • to the end of this book,

  • and there is a monster at the end of this book.

  • - But this will stop you from turning pages, see?

  • I am tying the pages together so you cannot...

  • - You turned another page.

  • You do not know what you're doing to me.

  • Now stop turning pages.

  • (chimes ring) (light playful music)

  • (chimes ring) - There!

  • I, Grover, am nailing this page to the next one

  • so that you will not be able to turn it,

  • and we will not get any closer

  • to the monster at the end of this book.

  • Bonk, bam, bing, klonk, bonk, bing, wood.

  • - Do you know that every time you turn another page,

  • you not only got us closer

  • to the monster at the end of this book,

  • but you make a terrible mess.

  • - This will stop you from turning pages,

  • a heavy, thick, solid, strong brick wall.

  • I would just like to see you try to turn this page.

  • (xylophone tinkles)

  • (drum booms)

  • - Do you know that you are very strong?

  • (dog barks)

  • - The next page is the end of this book,

  • and there is a monster at the end of this book.

  • (gasps) Oh, I'm so scared.

  • Please, please, do not turn the page.

  • Please, please, please!

  • - Well, look at that.

  • This is the end of the book and the only one here is me.

  • I, lovable, furry old Grover

  • am the monster at the end of this book.

  • And you were so scared.

  • - The end.

  • I told you and told you there was nothing to be afraid of.

  • - Oh, I am so embarrassed.

- The Monster at the End of This Book.
