The Hairy-Legged Mystery

What was that hiding in the hedge? One afternoon, while Ben and Jenny played in the garden, Ben noticed a pair of extremely hairy legs belonging to a huge fluffy creature hiding in the hedge. Just as they investigated they were called in for their dinner. From that moment on the pair attempted to determine what the 'creature' was. During the night they watched from their bedroom window and could see the outline of a hairy shape lurking in the darkness. It had to be a monster didn't it? What did that monster want? Why had the cucumber patch been destroyed? Had the creature taken the fruit bowl? Why were the prize roses beheaded? Was the creature trying to get their attention? Can you solve The Hairy-Legged Mystery ?
