Read para 3-7, think about these questions:
‘Let’s get out of here,’ Peters said. ‘This is the home of a monster.’
‘It’s clearly partly human, so it may be a friendly monster,’ I said. ‘We’ll wait.’
The ground began to shake. The door opened and some animals hopped in. They looked like kangaroos, giant kangaroos. Following them was
a huge monster. It looked almost human except that it had a single, huge, red eye.
The kangaroos shouted, ‘Good night, Gork,’ and hopped away.
Then Gork saw us. He gave a roar that turned our blood to ice. ‘Aliens! Aliens in my cave! How did you get in here?’
