Johnny saw a stone figure in one corner of the garden and went over to take a closer look. It was a gargoyle figure, and even though it was squatting down it still looked huge. It was bulky and muscular, with thick arms, thicker legs, claws, wings, horns, and a muzzled face.
"What an ugly thing you are!" said Johnny, slapping the statue. To his horror the gargoyle started moving, rising up to its full height of 7 feet tall and avanced on Johnny, its huge heavy feet making the ground shake.
"SO, YOU THINK I AM UGLY TO LOOK AT?" roared the Gargoyle "LET US SEE WHAT KIND OF STATUE YOU WILL MAKE!" and with those words it took a deep breath and expelled a gush of foul-smelling water over Johnny.
He tried to run but found himself slowing and stiffening. He was turning to stone!
