That mayor had tried to accomplish great things, but was always held back by the fears of the people around him. They explained to him that this place had been the idea of an old mayor of the town. The partygoers were all those people who had never returned to the town. Hardly believing it, he found himself right in the middle of a big party. They got clearer, and when he made a soft landing at the bottom, he heard a group of people shout: However, as he fell, he heard music, and voices. "Darn it, I think the monster has swallowed me," Believing that he was about to die, he let out one last cry. This pushed him forward towards a hole in the rock. At the bottom of the cavern he thought he could make out the figure of the monster, and as he approached it, he felt that something hit him hard on his back. But then the monster went quiet, and the young man had to carry on, not knowing in which direction to go.įinally he arrived at a huge cavern.

At first, the monster had a good long laugh, and the young man followed the sound of the monster's voice. He went inside, finding his way with a torch, and calling out to the monster, wanting to talk with it and discuss the situation.

The young man asked for some help, but everyone was so afraid that not a single person approached the mouth of the cave with him. So he decided to enter the cave and confront the monster. One day, a young man came to town, and, as he heard about the situation with the cave, he thought that it was unfair. So they regularly left gifts and food at the mouth of the cave, and these always soon disappeared. The townsfolk lived in terror that one day the monster would leave the cave. No one had ever returned from there, and whenever anyone got lost and ended up there, the last that was heard was a great cry of terror, followed by a few enormous guffaws. There was once a town where the thing everyone feared the most was getting lost at night in the "Cave of Fear".
