Dear Diary,

Yesterday, I saw Sandra at school. She looked very strange. She told me that the night before she had dropped a bottle of super-hyper-mega-multi-vitamins on her bedroom rug...

The next morning, she woke up and combed her long black hair and looked out the window admiring the blue ocean. But when she went to get a T-shirt, she heard a strange noise behind her. Then, she saw a monster. She immediately recognized that it was an arachnid, because in Science she had learned about dust mites, arachnids, etc.

The monster was one meter tall and had hair all over, but no eyes. Then she realized that the house was filled with such arachnids! In spite of her fear, she managed to open the window. Immediately, the monsters went out the window. She called the cops straight away, but no one wanted to believe her.

She told me that she had seen the monsters diving into the ocean. Then they were gone! She told me never to tell anyone. The monsters could be anywhere!!!

Some questions to ponder...

1. When Sandra looked "strange", how exactly did she look? Had she grown an extra nose, for example?
2. How did she realize that the house was full of arachnids?
3. Why did the monsters dive into the ocean?
4. Why didn't the cops believe here? Did she have a history of telling tall tales?
5. Why did she tell you to be quiet about this? Could you be quiet about a thing like this?
