I definitely felt sorry for Sammy in this story because of how often his mother forced him to eat lima beans for dinner (yekkk!) He gets clever and tries burying his lima beans fooling his mom into thinking he was actually eating them. The neighborhood kids join in and begin burying their not-so-favorite veggies (and other strange items) as well. Lightning strikes, not once but twice in the same spot!, and lo and behold a huge lima bean monster emerges from the ground and threatens to eat everyone. There's only one way to face this beast...and while it's pretty obvious, it still made my stomach turn when the kids decided to face their nightmare and "eat their vegetables". (double yeekkk!) lol. Fun story that pertains to basically every kid at some point in their life not wanting to eat something.
