The Monkey Story: part 1

If there was one person who liked monkeys, it was Autumn Yuberker of 101 Cross st. She was crazy about them. She had posters of them on their wall. She had a monkey backpack and a monkey colored blanket. She had donated $50 of her allowance over the years to help conserve monkey habitats, and went to the zoo at least once every week to see how the baby ringtail was doing. There was no doubt about it, Autumn had monkey fever.
Every Monday at show and tell, Autumn brought something monkey. Once it was a book about the monkeys who lived in the Amazon rain forest, another time a stuffed squirrel monkey. And at recess, all she would do was update her friends on the latest bit of information about her favorite animals and swing on the monkey bars, pretending she was a spider monkey.
At first her friends were tolerant, thinking it was only a phase. But after a month she was still just as interested in them, yet her friends agreed to wait a little longer. When she organized her desk to look like a monkey, her friends threw out their "It's a phase" idea and started on their "She's crazy and we gotta help her" one. So it happened, that Autumn's best friend, Olivia Shallowater, had a plan. "And it's gotta work!" she whispered to Milo and Shanks, Autumn's other friends.
