Long ago, a giant sea monster known as the Meester Stoor Worm rose out of the sea. It was said that the Stoor Worm’s body stretched halfway around the world. That its one eye was as red as fire. That its breath was poison to all living things.

Every day it moved closer to Australia.

My name is Charlotte. This story is about my older brother Corey. Corey is 19 years old. I am 8 years old.

We live in Sydney NSW Australia.

The Prime Minister of Australia asked the sorcerer for help. “You must give your only daughter, Princess Charlotte to the Stoor Worm,” said the sorcerer. “Only then will it leave."

The Prime Minister went pale. As all our Prime Ministers here, he was tormented with making a choice. They never seem to make the right one's. Princess Charlotte was kind, gentle, and loved by everyone. “Is that the only way to save my people?” the Prime Minister asked.

“It is the only way,” the sorcerer said.

The Prime Minister knew the sorcerer was serious. But he wasn’t ready to give up yet.

The Prime Minister sent a message to all of Australia: The man who can kill the Meester Stoor Worm will get half of the kingdom and Princess Charlotte as his sister. The Prime Minister was excited when thirty-six men came forward.

But as soon as they saw the monster, they all ran away. The Prime Minister was sad. He had to look good in front of the nation didn't he?

He knew the princess had to be offered up to the Stoor Worm.

There was great grief throughout the land.

On the day before the princess would be offered to the monster, a farm boy went to the seashore. His name was Corey.

All his life Corey wanted to be a great hero. Even when he was little he played with GI Joe figurines, super hero figurines and read the books. His favorite book was Robin Hood.

He was determined to defeat the Stoor Worm and save Princess Charlotte.

It was his sister after all...

Corey borrowed a small boat. He loaded a bucket of burning coals into it and rowed toward the Stoor Worm.

He wasn't really scared of it... until

The monster awoke. It slowly opened its giant jaws in a yawn. A great flood of water rushed into its open mouth.

The boat and Corey were swept in. Corey was carried down the Stoor Worm’s throat.

"Oh no.. what do I do now?" He yelled out.
