The Squirrels And The Monkey




Once there where twin squirrels named Sparky and Rusty. There was also a monkey named Fred. Sparky and & Rusty had pogo sticks and always bragged, “Ha, we can do something you can’t. Ha Ha.”

Fred was so furious and as they say, monkey see monkey do, so Fred went and got a pogo stick and got back at the twins, “Ha! I got a pogo stick and I’m going to be better than you!” exclaimed Fred. Fred went home and practiced, practiced, practiced. In the meanwhile the twins where eating acorns and watching TV.

Sparky said, “We are soooooooooooo good we will have time tomorrow to practice.” But what if he gets better than us?” Rusty said worriedly. The next day, Fred went to the twins' tree and said with lots of confidence, “I demand a jump of right here right now.”

They all grabbed their pogo sticks and started jumping. Sparky, the stubborn squirrel, was the first to fall trying to show off and do a trick. “Ha!” said Fred. The worried twin, Rusty, fell shortly after his brother. Fred repeated himself, “Ha!” Fred finally quit jumping and went home after he got revenge.

I told you I would beat you and win with joy,” said Fred.

MORAL: Practice makes perfect.
