The Story of a Monkey on a Stick by Laura Lee Hope
page 66 of 77 (85%)

"Oh, if you bite my ears I can't be in the show!" said the poor Rabbit.

The Monkey climbed higher and higher on his stick, after he had said he
would stop the Goat from eating the Candy Rabbit. And now, just as the
Goat was going to take the Bunny up from the box, the Monkey suddenly
gave a jump! Oh, such a jump!

Off his stick he jumped, and he landed right on the Goat's back. With
his hands the Monkey began to pull the Goat's hair.

He even reached around and pulled the Goat's whiskers, the Monkey did.

"Baa-a-a-a-a!" bleated the Goat. "Stop, Monkey! You're hurting me!
You're pulling my hair!"

"Then get out of this tent and leave the Candy Rabbit alone!" shouted
the Monkey.

"No! I want sweet stuff!" bleated the bad Goat.

Then the Monkey jumped off the Goat's back, and, catching up the stick,
on which he climbed to the top when the string was pulled, the Monkey
began hitting the Goat over the nose with it.

"Oh, my nose! My soft and tender nose!" bleated the Goat, as he ran out
of the tent.

"Thank you, so much, for saving me," said the Rabbit to the Monkey, as
the likely chap climbed back on his stick.
