There once
was a chap who sold caps.
After walking all day, the chap with caps was ready to collapse, so
he had a nap.
But when he awoke, the chap with caps was taken aback . . .
His caps
were gone! All that was left was the
cap on his head.
He looked up to discover . . . chattering monkeys had snatched his
caps!
"Rats!" the chap thought, "I need my caps. Perhaps if I set a trap,
I'll get them back."
The chap set a trap, but, alas, he did not get his caps back.
So he
hatched a plan: he offered to trade them the caps for a cape with a
map on the back.
But the chap still did not get his caps back.
The chap snapped! He was mad!
He jumped up and down!
And so did the monkeys.
Then he
clapped his hands and he flapped his arms and he stamped his
feet.
The monkeys copied everything he did, but he didn't get his caps
back.
Then the chap had a fantastic idea!
He threw his cap to the ground.
The monkeys did the same, and all the caps fell down
and landed at the chap's feet.
"Hooray!" he cheered. "My caps!"
And that's how the chap got his caps back. |
