The Mighty Monster Herry is always willing to help, but he doesn't know his own strength. He relies on his muscles to solve problems when a gentle touch is needed, and this often makes things worse. Sometimes he learns that he can do more things better by slowing down, listening, and cooperating.

					Horoscope: Herry, like most Virgos, is a loner who likes to figure things out on his own, to feel useful, and stay fit and healthy. But he often doesn't know his own strength, and usually ends up doing more damage than good. He shares his sign with Mother Teresa (who always did good), Lauren Bacall ("If you need me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you Herry?"), and David Copperfield (who, like Herry, always has a few tricks up his sleeve).
