Please correct my mistakes (if any) and read this text as a funny story :) I also have an intention to upload it to Youtube for studying it at slower and faster speeds as well as to share it with other people learning English and who may be struggling to find simple but interesting content as much as I do (so if you are against, please just skip this request)
Thank you very much in advance. Have a wonderful day! :)

Stalin and Lenin were in the car. They were driving to Africa, to visit Cheburashka. On the way they were tired. They noticed the Eleon Hotel. It was a 5-star hotel. And the comrades got a room there. But there was a problem with the room. There were some other people living in their room. Stalin and Lenin did not want to stay in the room with people they didn’t know.

They kept driving, but it was a long way, and they were really tired. They saw a 1-star Ninja Hotel, and got a room in that hotel. But there was a problem again. There was water in the room: on the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling, everywhere. They did not want to stay in the flooded room.
They kept driving, but then they were just exhausted. Finally they saw a 13-star Monster Hotel. Indeed, there were monsters everywhere. Surprisingly, Lenin and Stalin were not scared. Actually, they liked it. Because they were monsters themselves! Yeah, really. Lenin and Stalin were zombies!
They got a room in that hotel and stayed.

Next morning they met two beautiful monster ladies in the restaurant. The werewolf Merilyn Monroe and the witch Maryana Ro. They fell in love and decided to stay in that hotel forever.
Next year their friend Cheburashka came to their weddings! Happy end!

This "past tense" version is reasonably natural English, but the "future tense" version is very unnatural and awkward. Nobody would ever write anything like.
