Alexander could speak to Gozillas. Gozillas were giant creatures that lived deep in the forest. They were like big, strong, and very angry gorillas. When the Gozillas were angry, they would stomp and roar and destroy everything in their path. They didn't know how to calm down. But Alexander could help. When the Gozillas were causing chaos, Alexander would be called upon to speak to them and calm them down.
Alexander knew that the key to calming the Gozillas was to listen to them. So, whenever he encountered an angry Gozilla, he would sit quietly and listen to their roars. They would tell him why they were angry, and Alexander would try to understand. He would sympathize with their feelings, and then calmly explain to them why they shouldn't destroy things.
Sometimes, the Gozillas would listen to Alexander and understand his words. They would slowly calm down, and their destructive energy would fade away. Other times, they would continue to be angry and destroy things, but Alexander never gave up. He always listened patiently and spoke kindly to them. Eventually, even the angriest Gozillas would calm down and find peace.
One day, a very big and angry Gozilla named Grumpus was causing havoc in the village. The villagers were terrified, and they immediately called for Alexander. When Alexander arrived, he saw Grumpus stomping and roaring, breaking everything in sight. Alexander approached Grumpus slowly, knelt down, and started to listen.
Grumpus roared and raged, telling Alexander about his frustration and sadness. Alexander listened attentively, nodding his head to show that he understood. Then, Alexander spoke softly and calmly to Grumpus, explaining how destroying things wouldn't solve his problems. He told Grumpus that there were other ways to express his anger and find peace.
As Alexander spoke, he noticed Grumpus starting to calm down. His roars became softer, and his stomping turned into slow, peaceful steps. The village became quiet as Grumpus finally found peace within himself. He stopped destroying things and started to appreciate the beauty of the village. The villagers watched in awe as Alexander and Grumpus walked away, hand in hand.
From that day on, the villagers knew that whenever the Gozillas got angry, they could count on Alexander to bring peace. And Alexander knew that the key to helping the Gozillas was always listening and speaking with kindness. He understood that everyone, even giant angry creatures, just wanted to be heard and understood. And with his special ability, he could make the world a better place one Gozilla at a time.
