and pink lemonade ana popcorn balls.
The most popular show was the
Trained Monkey Band. 1t was funny
to watch the droll creatures banging
away on drums and blowing horns.
The band leader was especially inter-
esting and full of mischief. He Just
would reach down with his stick and
tap the other monkeys on the head,
which made the band forget the tune.
At last one Drum Monkey. who had
been tapped several times. jumped UP
and grabbed Mr.. Band Leaders stick
away and began TO do a little tapping
himself. Soon the whole band was in
a fight, hitting each other with their
musical Instruments. So the Trainer
had to come forward and take the
monkeys away.
