Finian's story

Looking at the picture of Bryn yr Hen Bobl (a chambered tomb in North Wales) that I have hanging on our living room wall, Finian told me the following story:




This is a cave for monsters, mom, not people. You can see the monster's skin. 

"What happens if you go in there, Finian?" 

The monster will chase you out and hunt for prey.

Once upon a time there were two boys, Finian and Nicholas. They went into the deep deep forest. And they found a cave. There was a dragon in there. And a ghost. And a T-Rex. And a spinosaurus. And daddy was there.

What happened when you went into the cave, Finian?

The dragon breathed fire and the spinosaurus chased me and daddy and Nicholas out of the cave. So we runned away. We find another hiding place. It was another cave. It has no monsters, but just a nice monster. It was a live monster in the cave that just turned into a statue.

And where was I, Finian?

You were at home, sewing.
