Vinnie the Vampire is a very proud vampire. He lives in a castle. His face is white as snow and his hair is dark as night. When he smiles, you can see that Vinnie has sharp teeth. What Vinnie likes the most is to bite people on the neck. People don't like to get bitten, so Vinnie doesn't have any friends. Just Incy the spider. Incy lives in Vinnie's shoulder. They play together, sleep together... Vinnie usually tries to sink his teeth in
someone's neck. - Do you have to bite? - said Incy. - I love biting people. I don't need friends. - said Vinnie. Next day, Vinnie and Incy were walking in the forest when Vinnie saw a little girl playing. Vinnie started to run... to bite the little girl! But... there was a green frog sleeping in the road! Vinnie tripped over and broke all his teeth!! I have told you! - said Incy. Help me pick up my teeth! - said Vinnie. But just at that exact moment, the bats took all the teeth and flew to the trees. My teeth! How am I supposed to bite people now? - said Vinnie.
Vinnie cried and cried and cried until he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. It was the little girl. Why are your crying? - said the little girl. He has lost all his teeth. - said Incy. Don't worry! I can help you find them. - said the little girl. Them they all started to walk. They walked and walked, but they could not see any bats. They saw a big pumpkin. His eyes and mouth were big and scary. Vinnie felt scared without his teeth, but the little girl wasn't. - Excuse me Mr. Pumpkin. We are looking for some teeth. And some bats, Have you seen them? - said the little girl. - They were here 10 minutes ago! They were flying fast! - said the pumpkin.
- Oh! Thanks! - said the little girl. Later, Vinnie, Incy and the little girl saw a skeleton in the path. Vinnie and Incy were trembling but the little girl wasn't. - Hello skeleton! Have you seen any bats? They have stolen Vinnie's teeth! - Er, well, I only just got out here... Maybe the bats are in the cave. The bats usually sleep there. It was a big black cave. - I'm not going in there! - said Incy and Vinnie. - Look, do you want to find these teeth or not?
Vinnie, the little girl and Incy went inside but they could not see a thing. - Look up there! - said the little girl. The bats were sleeping. - Look over there! I think those are my teeth! - said Vinnie. The little girl grabbed all the teeth so quickly and Vinnie, Incy and the little girl got out of the cave. Once outside Vinnie, Incy and the little girl kept running and running. - I don't know what to say. I was trying to bite you, you have been so kind
to me. Thank you so much. - said Vinnie. - Well, you looked like you needed a friend. I am sure you won't be biting people anymore. - said the little girl. - You are right. I need a friend. What's your name? - said Vinnie. - My name is Laura. I would like to be your friend. Would you like to come to my house for a tea, or maybe some games? - said Laura. - Yes!! - said Vinnie as he gave Laura a big hug.
