Artist was worn out from painting until midnight,
telling herself,
"Only my paintings can cheer me up in this rainy weather."
There was a knock on the door
just as she was about to go to bed.
I wonder who can it be at this hour in this downpour.
Hello.
I'm sorry to disturb you at this late hour.
Is there a problem, Mr. Police?
I saw something.
What did you see?
I don't know what it was.
It was quite strange.
And what can I do for you?
Would you be able to draw a picture of it if I told you what it looked like?
This way I can show it around.
Please have a seat.
Let me get a pencil and paper.
The police officer sat down,
but his heart was beating fast with excitement.
Here I am.
You can tell me now.
It was two meters tall.
No, no, three meters.
But its torso was short and the legs were long.
You said its torso.
How big was its torso?
Its torso was the same size as your entire body.
As big as my body?
Huh? Hmmm.
It had a very long tail.
Its head was huge for its body.
There were no eyes or nose on its face.
Sir, I have never seen nor heard of anything like this.
I've never read about this on the internet or in books.
Are you sure that you were not dreaming?
Yes, Yes! I'm sure!
One arm was short and the other was very long and had 20 fingers.
This is quite a weird creature.
It sends shivers down my spine!
I'm sure that someone else also saw this creature.
I'll make copies of this drawing and post it everywhere.
I'll bet someone else saw it.
Well, I hope nobody has seen such a thing!
Good luck with that!
Artist's drawing was finished.
It turned out to be a shapeless and slightly scary picture.
It was very ugly and strange-looking.
If that's all you want to draw,
the picture is done.
Oh, God bless your hands!
Well done!
It looks exactly as whatever I saw.
I'll go now.
Thank you so much.
After the police officer left,
Artist couldn't fall asleep.
Her drawing was still on her mind.
What a strange drawing that was.
Brrr!
I'm shaking like a leaf!
But I'm sure there's an explanation for this.
In the morning,
Artist Goat was still thinking about it.
She left the house
and saw that copies of her drawing.....
....were posted on some of the trees on the farm.
She took one
and asked people passing by whether they had seen such creature.
Ouch!
Oh!
Was that you, Artist?
I am so sorry, I spooked you.
No problem.
I showed everyone the drawing,
but nobody has ever seen such a creature.
Are you still sure you saw it?
I am sure !
Come,
Let me show you exactly where I saw it.
The police officer takes Artist to the barn.
Aha!
That's where I saw it.
But yesterday I was here, too,
and I saw nothing.
Look!
Everything is on strewn on the ground.
That thing messed it up.
There was a can of paint over there and it is gone now.
Paint container?
When the policeman mentioned can of paint,
Artist looked around
and immediately understood what had happened.
So,
The beast had very long legs.
The policeman looked at Artist a little confused,
Trying to understand what she was doing.
Yes!
Very long legs.
Then Artist ties the rope hanging from the wall to her waist.
And a very long tail.
Yes, yes,
It's got a very long tail.
What else did it have?
Wait!
Are you saying that the monster was you?
But, the long arm and 20 fingers?
I couldn't reach to the can over there,
I used this mop to reach it.
No! No!
But it didn't have any eyes, mouth or nose.
It was making strange sounds.
Artist Goat takes the bucket on the shelf
and puts it on her head.
A bucket like this?
It fell on my head.
At that very moment,
there was lightning flash.....
...and the light filtered the room by where the officer was.
Ha ha ha!
I get it now!
I was afraid of you.
I've been looking for you since last night.
Ha ha ha!
I didn't know that I was drawing myself as a scary monster last night.
Good thing I came across you now.
Otherwise, I would have been for this weird thing for days,
maybe months.
I never thought I'd be such a terrifying creature.
Grrrr!
Ha ha ha ha!
