A silly and ironic twist on "The Little Dutch Boy," featuring a charmingly unaware monster who just wants to be kind and make a difference
Merv is a nice monster. He sits outside the village, snacking on plants and blissfully minding his own business. Until…the villagers start complaining about "that monster." Merv assumes they must be talking about somebody else and decides to go take care of that nuisance himself! He asks for help from the witches, the troll under the bridge, and even the unicorns. But their assistance comes with strings attached, and poor Merv isn't ready to meet their demands. Will Merv return to the village a failure, or might he have been helping everyone all along?
