The children were talking
about their Grandpas.
My Grandpa can build a tower
to the sky, said Giraffe.
Once he built a skyscraper for
a king.
My Grandpa can fish for
anything in the sea, said
Cheetah.
Once he caught a whale
and kept it in his bath.
My Grandpa can climb to
the clouds in the sky, said
Mountain Goat.
He climbed the tallest
mountain in the world,
in just four hours.
My Grandpa can cook a
feast, said Elephant.
Once he cooked a meal
for a president’s birthday
party. All by himself.
Well my Grandpa doesn’t build
or fish or climb or cook, said
Monkey. But he owns gold!
He hides it in his mouth. And
at night he soaks it in a glass
of water.
No, he doesn’t!
Yes, he does!
No, he doesn’t!
Yes, he does!
Well, come and see if you don’t
believe me, said Monkey.
So the children went to see
Monkey’s Grandpa.
You see? said Monkey.
And he can take them out.
No, he can’t! cried the animals.
Waaah! said Grandpa Monkey.
And there are enough ...
... for everyone!
The end.
