They'll give three hundred dollars fer the lion an' five hundred fer the eddicated chim -what-you-call-him. You know." "The educated chimpanzee," said Shep. "That's it. It looks as if that chimpanzee was wuth a lot to them. He was a whole show in hisself." "Well, we've got the lion right enough," said Snap. "We don't know anything about the monkey."
They were clean, nice, respectable-looking little fellows, quite unlike monkeys cooped up in menageries, or even in the Zoological Gardens, and seemed to lead very happy and joyous lives. Gerard declared that if he was not a human being really, the next best state of existence he should desire would be that of a monkey on the banks of the Amazon.
"I will not allow you to make a monkey of yourself," said Brandeis; and the phrase had a success throughout the islands, pungent expressions being so much admired by the natives that they cannot refrain from repeating them, even when they have been levelled at themselves.
"Oh, I think I can let you take some old sheets," said his mother, "and you can hang them over the clothesline in the yard. That will make a nice little tent for your show." "Yes, that will be fine," said Herbert. "Thank you, Mother." He carried his Monkey into the house and put him on a table, where Madeline was sitting, playing with her Candy Rabbit.
"Your journey resulted in saving me from the Giantess, and had you not traveled to the Yoop Valley, I would still be Mrs. Yoop's prisoner. It is much nicer to be free, even though I still bear the enchanted form of a Canary-Bird." "Do you think we shall ever be able to get our proper forms back again?" asked the Green Monkey earnestly.
Nevertheless one must not look at too many of these caricatures. At first the Rabelaisian side of the man appeals; presently his bitterness becomes too acrid.

A few minutes later he returned to the box again, climbed up, and readily reached the food, which he ate while resting on boxes 1 and 2. I now replaced the bait and gave the monkey a second chance to obtain it.
"No, I was in one other," was the answer. "It was a store in which there lived a Sawdust Doll, a Lamb on Wheels, a Monkey on a Stick and many other playthings." "Why did you leave?" asked the Donkey. "Was it because there were no other cats there for you to mew to?" "No, it was not that," was the answer. "Then why did you leave?" asked the Nodding Donkey.
"See, see," cried a woman, with dishevelled hair, which streamed out from her round cap, and fell down over her red, angry face " see, that is the baker's woman, and the monkey that jumps in front of her is the apprentice-boy! They can dress themselves up and be fine, for all is well with them, and they can eat cakes, while we have to go hungry.
"If you come up here about dark you'll have a chance to catch her, for she'll have to come out for something to eat." "You take the monkey into the house, an' I'll get along all right," was the almost savage reply. "She smells him, an' jest as long as he's there she'll stay under here."
