8. In the Sea of Nazaré,
Portugal ...

9. There were two monsters friends. Their names were...

10. Shark invited Star Fire Rumrum to have tea
at home, in the sea of Nazaré.

11. The night fell and Shark invited her
to spend the night at home. His face
was green algae and rocks.

12. When they were sleeping,
another angry monster came.
They could hear his heavy
footsteps and his huge and
hideous roars.

13. Shark, full of courage, was peeking
through the entrance of the cave
where they were.

15. Then he saw a monster… It was Fly Refrigerator.

16. The cloud where she lived had fallen into the sea.
Alone and scared he was searching for someone
to help him, because he did not like being alone.

17. Shark and Star Fire Rumrum were very happy when realized
that Fly Refrigerator was not an evil monster. They gave a big hug
and decided to help her get back to her cloud.

18. They went up to the surface in their submarine
and Shark asked another friend for help.

19. Fortunately, Little Balls was in his balloon to see
if any forest was burning. From above, he can see
the fire and immediately call the firefighters. So
he prevents the forest from burning because the
firefighters come quickly to extinguish it.

20. Fly climbed to the balloon and together with
Little Balls went to her cloud. She was very happy
because, with the help of her new friends, she
went back home.

21. Already in her home, she didn’t forget her
friends. Picked up the phone and sent them a sms.
Thanks for everything.
I'm fine.
I miss you.
I will visit you again.

22. Shark and Rumrum Fire Star Fly-Fridge
answered with another SMS. We will never forget
you, Fly-Fridge.
We are your friends
and we love you.
