Features: The Curse of the Mummy II: Gabby and his aunt Sally enter another pyramid in Egypt, said to be the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Prince Kru, filled with countless treasures. Uncle is explaining excitedly as they walk through the tunnel. Unintentionally, Gabby's head bumps into the tunnel wall, the light on his safety helmet goes out, and neither uncle nor Sally is visible ahead after the turn. Gabby has no choice but to lean against the tunnel wall, only to find that the wall collapses, and Gabby falls without warning. The tomb is finally opened. The Misfortune Monster: Moving to a new home, Kate discovers something like an old sponge under the sink—it actually has a heartbeat and breathing, and can change colors. Since discovering this old sponge, misfortune has followed one after another. Daniel, her brother, checked the Wonders of the World Encyclopedia, which records that this thing is called a "Grou," it doesn't eat or drink, gains power from misfortune, and cannot be given away or destroyed by force. Kate doesn't believe such a ridiculous thing exists, but reality shows otherwise.
