    For Mookie's fifth birthday, he got a large 

box from his Uncle.

    Inside the box was a large stuffed animal 

monkey.   Mookie wanted a real pet and was sad 

that the monkey wasn't real.

     When Mookie went to bed he had a dream that the 

Monkey came to life.   When he woke up, he checked 

to see if the monkey was alive.   The monkey didn't 

look any different so Mookie put him in his closet.

    After lunch, Mookie's Mom said, "Mookie, please 

pick up your room before going out to play." 

    When Mookie opened his closet to put away his 

toys, the monkey jumped out and said "BOO".  

    Mookie almost hit the ceiling as he jumped into 

the air with surprise. "You are real!".  

    The monkey jumped up and down and started 

throwing all of Mookie's clothes on the floor.

    Mookie, tried to grab the monkey, but he tripped on 

his boot and started giggling when he saw the monkey 

wearing his tie.  

    The monkey also started to laugh.  

    Then both Mookie and the monkey started throwing 

clothes at each other.

    When Mookie's Mom came into the room, she was 

very upset to see such a mess.   "What are you doing?" 

asked Mookie's Mom.

    "The monkey started it.   He was throwing all my 

clothes on the floor."

    Mookie's Mom looked at the monkey and said, 

"Mookie, what are you talking about, you just put a tie 

on the monkey.   Now clean up your room!"

    When Mookie's Mom left the room, Mookie looked 

at the monkey and asked, "Are you still alive?"

    The monkey didn't move so Mookie cleaned up the 

mess and put the monkey back in his closet.   Then 

Mookie went outside to play.

    After dinner, Mookie's Mom and Dad read him 

some stories and tucked him into bed.   After they 

left the room, Mookie heard some noises coming 

from his closet.   He got out of bed and opened the 

closet.   When he looked inside, the monkey jumped 

out and knocked Mookie over.

    "You're alive again!" exclaimed Mookie.

    The monkey ran out and started playing the 

drums.

    Mookie yelled, "stop you're going to wake my 

parents!". 

    He ran over to catch the monkey and his head 

bumped into the symbol.   Mookie and the monkey 

started laughing and playing the drums together.

    Mookie's Mom woke up from all the noise and 

ran into the room.

    "What on earth are you doing Mookie?"

    "I was just trying to stop the monkey from playing 

the drums" explained Mookie.

    "Mookie, the monkey is a suffed animal, it can not 

play the drums.   It looks like you're playing the 

drums. Now get back into bed right now and I'm 

taking the monkey with me."
