When I was playing Minecraft, I found this book in a village:

An Exciting Mine by Happyguy

Today I went mining! I didn't find any diamonds, but I did find some other things! Here's what happened:

I was using TNT to mine a tunnel--it's much more fun that way--when I came to a cave. Maybe there would be diamonds in it! I walked in, but just then I heard an ominous hissing noise next to me. I sprinted off into the cave, but the creeper followed me and trapped me next to some lava! I quickly placed some TNT and, as the beast drew near, lit it with some flint and steel. The creeper started to swell, but the TNT exploded first, tossing the creeper into the lava!

I turned to leave, but heard more exploding sounds behind me. Looking back, I saw a monster made of lava, with TNT all over its body! No time to look for diamonds now! I ran away from this new monster, and it launched TNT at me. Its sizable form should've slowed it down in the comparatively small cave, but it just made more explosions and made the cave bigger!

As I was starting to get low on health, I saw an enderwoman and some sort of skinny black quadruped ahead of me.

The enderwoman turned her head and, seeing the creature, said, "Another one of Entity 303's creepers! Follow me. There's some water over this way!"

We ran through the cave until we came to pool of water, which I jumped into. The enderwoman and her pet stayed by the edge. Of course! Water hurts endermen!

The sound of exploding TNT got louder, and the monster came into view. When it was almost upon her, the enderwoman and her pet teleported away, and the lava being ran right into the water where I was hiding! It let out a roar as it hit the surface and was turned to stone.

I mined my way out and went to find the enderwoman.


"Hi!" I said when I found her. "I'm Happyguy! Thanks for helping me kill that thing!"

"Sure. I'm Meran, and this," she said, gesturing at her pet, "is Dolent." The creature, which had been hanging its head 'til now, looked up, and I saw that it had red eyes, but there was something strange about them, almost like they were far away or were giant eyes that had been shrunk down.

"Hi," I said, and then, to Meran, "What is he? I've never seen anything like that."

"He's a redhound. Dr. Chibawk made them to find redstone for him. Most of the redhounds have been turned into furthermen, but we still use a few."

"Oh, I think I've met Dr. Chibawk! He's that ender-chicken guy who eats at Viney Food, right?"

"Yep."

"I don't know about furthermen, though. What are they?"

"They're basically red-eyed endermen which find redstone. And cake."

"Cool," I said. "Well, I'd better get back to mining! Bye!"

"Bye," said Meran, and I ran off.
