Mrs Muffly lives by herself in a house of top of a hill. She has always been a bit strange, but lately she has been acting very, very strangely indeed. We think this is because she is keeping a HUGE monster in her house! The monster must need lots of sugar to keep him sweet, and lots of flour sacks to sleep on because Mrs Muffly has been on an epic shopping trip. What else could she be doing with all that sugar, flour, butter, eggs and jam?
