Class 9, October 18


By Nate Feldman 

It is the Halloween season, so there are many monsters coming out in different areas.  You can find them in the streets and on people's properties.  Jess and Paula, two young entrepreneurs, have come up with an idea to solve this problem.  They have created a new business: Monster Hunters.  


For only $20, if you call Jess or Paula, they can come to your place and help remove the monsters from the vicinity.  Jess and Paula are both very experienced in dealing with monsters, and they guarantee that if they are unable to remove the monster, that you don't have to pay them anything.  

From there, Jess and Paula have a second business they are running: The Monster Preserve.  This is an area where monsters can live with one another and don't have to interact with humans.  They can live in their own environment.  Also for $20, humans can come and visit the Monster Preserve and see their favorite kinds of creatures: gremlins, witches, goblins, ghouls, werewolves, and vampires just to name some.  

So, if you want to visit monsters, go to the Monster Preserve, and if you need monsters removed from your area, call the Monster Hunters.  They will make sure you have a spooktacular time this Halloween season! 

Warm-up Discussion:

1. Yesterday, we talked about the most and least stressful jobs.  Do you think being a Monster Hunter would be a stressful job or not?   Why?
