The Man and the Monkey
Once there lived a man who made very nice caps. One day he made fifteen red caps for his cousins. In the morning he took the caps and went to see his cousins. It was a long way and soon he got very tired. He sat under a big tree, put on a red cap and went to sleep.
When he opened his eyes, he couldn’t see his caps. Suddenly he looked up and saw little brown monkeys. Every monkey had a nice red cap on.
“They are having a fancy-dress party! And I haven’t got anything to give to my cousins!”
“Give me back my caps!” he said to the monkeys again and again but they didn’t. Then he got very angry, took his cap off and threw it on the ground.
“You want my caps! Then take this one too!”
Do you know what the monkeys did? They took their caps off and threw them on the ground too. They were monkeys and, you know, monkeys like to do what you do in front of their eyes.
The man was happy to get his caps back.
