HOW THE MONKEY FOUND TROUBLE
“Where’s Freddie the Fox?” asked the Monkey.
“He has met trouble,” replied his wife.
“‘Trouble’? Who is this ‘Trouble’? I have never seen him. What does he look like?” asked the Monkey.
“Don’t talk like that! Someday you might find trouble and then you won’t like his looks at all,” warned his wife.
But the Monkey wanted to know more about ‘Trouble’. So, he went to Moozimoo, the wise one who knew most things.
“Where is ‘Trouble’? I would like to meet him,” said the Monkey.
“Do you really want to find trouble?” asked the wise old one.
“Yes,” replied the Monkey. “I want to see what ‘he’ is like.”
“You shall,” said the wise old one. “Wait here for a moment.”
Moozimoo went away for a short time and returned with a sack on his shoulder.
“Here, brother,” he said to the Monkey, “Carry this sack out of the forest into an open field. Then, open it with great care. You will see ‘what you will see’.”
The sack was very heavy but the Monkey managed to carry it to a field. “Now,” he said as he put the sack down. “I am going to see what ‘Trouble’ is like.”
Carefully, he untied the string with which the bag was tied. Out jumped a big dog. The big dog gave one bark and leapt at the monkey.
The monkey squealed with fright and ran for the nearest tree. But the dog got hold of his tail and bit a piece off. The monkey climbed to the top of the tree, while the dog sat at the foot of the tree....waiting.
