I saw a cute clumsy monkey in the jungle. The monkey fell out of a tree. I caught him. He was soft. I think he liked me. He was more cute than heavy. He was light. I really wanted to keep him but it belonged in the wild. If I could keep him I would call him Jeffery. I really liked the name Jeffery so I decided to call him that and I’d see him every day. The next day I thought he was kidnapped because he wasn’t there. I saw him and he was sleeping. I let him be in his natural habitat for a few days. He was all back to normal which was better.
