Garden Monkeys

What do garden monkeys think about all day long? Chasing squirrels! Once there was a garden monkey who watered the flowers in a very special garden. He was carefully tending to the beautiful flowers, when all of a sudden, whoosh! Down fell lots of leaves from a tree as it's trunk shook... and with a flash a squirrel zipped up the branches and then stopped immediately to eat a nut while peering down at the garden monkey. The garden monkey was caught in the squirrel's spell. He sat stunned next to the flowers. He imagined a great big elephant who would lift him up high into the tree so he could chase that squirrel! The garden monkey closed his eyes tight and wished very hard. Suddenly the hose began to wiggle. It slid out of the garden monkey's hands like a snake, but he didn't notice because all he could think about was chasing the squirrel. The hose moved around magically on the ground until it carefully rose up above the flowers - and then as high as the tree. It had formed into a very large elephant, trunk and all! The garden monkey opened his eyes and to his delight, there stood a magical elephant! The garden monkey grabbed on to it's tail and began to climb up the elephant. The squirrel was confused, he had never seen a hose turn into an elephant before. He sat stunned, caught in the elephant's spell. The garden monkey quickly crawled up the elephant's trunk which lifted him up to the tree - and kerplunk! Leaves flew everywhere, branches shook while a major squeal was heard throughout the neighborhood. The garden monkey emerged, slid down the hose and continued on watering the flowers - but this time with a furry tail sticking out of his pocket! THE END.
