4. THE MONKEY AS KINGBy Sharri McGarryThere was a huge competition in the Indian jungle – and the prize was – 'To be King of the Beasts!' It was very exciting! To be King of all the Beasts was a grand thing – when you were King you got to wear a shiny crown and all the animals had to call you 'Sire'. Of course, lots of animals entered the competition. Each animal got to say their piece on a big stage while the other animals judged.The first up on stage was Fox. Fox was a very clever animal. He spoke very well about the rights of the people and the duties of the King; but he used such long words like �'fiscal' and 'jurisdiction' that most of the animals got bored and fell asleep.'And,' said Fox, 'never forget that there are many new traps around in the jungle. Traps laid by Man to catch animals! Of course, there never was a trap made that could catch a fox. So this is my promise to you. If I am made King, I will educate each and every animal in avoiding these traps. Thank you.' �Fox went off the stage and was met by Monkey.'Oooh-ooh-ooh! That was a fine and educated speech you just made!' said Monkey.'Well, thank you Monkey,' replied Fox, pleased. 'Yes – very clever you are,' Monkey carried on. 'But that is not what the animals want in a king. Watch this!'And he bounded on to the stage.�'Thank you! Thank you!' he shout-ed. 'Its great to be here! You know �- that Fox is a clever fellow. But – �poor Fox - hes got no nose. How does he smell, I hear you ask? He �smellsAWFUL!' �'Oooh-ooh-ooh! Do you want to see me dance?' cried Monkey.'YEH!' roared the audience.1And monkey danced. He frolicked and he pranced and he capered and he danced! And what faces he pulled! Monkey was funny. The audience laughed and roared and held their sides. And that is how Monkey became King of the Beasts. �'Oooh-ooh-ooh! Well, Fox!' he smirked, as he paraded up and �down in his gold crown. 'Funny beats clever!''PA!' said Fox, angrily. 'Well see about that!' 展开>>
