"Come on!" said Big Ben, "that's enough! You scared the people on the London Eye. You scared the people in the museum and you scared the people in the dungeon. Let's go home."

So Big Ben and Hairy Henry went back to Ben's Clock Tower. They had a cup of tea and ate cheese on toast and they talked a lot about all the monsters in their family.

The next day Hairy Henry said goodbye to Big Ben and went home. He felt very tired after his holiday...but being a monster is a tiring business!
