When is a monster not

The golden rays of sun illuminated everything below, casting shadows below the canopies of trees, and glimmering the ends of wheat and maize as if the golden stardust hadbeen sprinkled on them.
Tiny buds of mustard flowers glistened a beautiful yellow and the fluffy white dandelions flew with wind appearing like the small balls of cotton as the light blue clear sky stood above, basking everything in it's calm aura.

A round fluffy dandelion touched his tiny nose, distorting his focus from the sky to the thing settled on the tip of his nose, the thin brows of his knitted almost immediately yet he didn't make any move to sway it away.
