My Monster

One day a boy was walking down the street when he saw a sea monster standing on the corner looking lost. The boy put a leash on the sea monster and took him to the police station. "You should take him to the museum," said the policeman ! The next day the policeman saw the boy in the town again with the monster on the leash. "I thought I told you to take him to the museum," said the policeman ! "I did," said the boy, "and today I'm taking him to the cinema."
