STOKES COMPANY + PHILADELPHIA + +[Illustration] + + +ONCE upon a time there was a very mischievous little monkey, +who lived in a big banyan tree, and his name was Jacko. + +[Illustration] + +And in the jungle below there lived a huge, fierce old lion and +lioness. + +[Illustration] + +Now Jacko was a very teasing monkey. He used to climb down the long +trailing roots of the banyan tree, and pull the tails of all the other +creatures, and then scamper up again, before they could catch him. + +And he was so bold, he even pulled the tails of the lion and lioness +one day. + +[Illustration] + +This made them so angry that-- + +They went to a grim old bear they knew, and they arranged with him that +he should come with them to the banyan tree, when Jacko was away. + +[Illustration] + +So he came, and standing on the lion's head, he gnawed the roots +through till they were so thin they would not bear a jerk. + +[Illustration] + +And next time Jacko pulled the lion's tail he gave a great tug--the +roots broke, and down fell Jacko, into the huge, fierce grim old lion's +jaws!! + +[Illustration] + +"Come here, my dear!" roared the lion. + +The lioness came and looked at Jacko. "He is a very thin monkey," said +she; "we had better put him in the larder for a week to fatten him, and +then ask Mr. Bear to dinner." + +[Illustration] + +So they put him in the larder, which was just a little piece at the end +of their cave, built up with big stones, and while the lion built it +up, the lioness lay ready to spring on him if he tried to escape. It +was very dark and very cold, and Jacko did not like it at all. + +[Illustration] + +They left a little window to feed him by, and every day they gave him +as many bananas as he liked, because they knew monkeys ate bananas, and +they could get them easily. + +[Illustration] + +Then the lioness wrote a leaf-letter to the bear, asking him to +dinner, which he, of course, accepted with pleasure. + +[Illustration] + +But Jacko did not get fat, and the reason of that was that he soon +tired of bananas, and only ate one every day. He gave all the others to +the rats. + +The lion and lioness were rather worried because Jacko did not get fat, +so one day they stole in to listen to him talking to the rats, and as +it happened they were just talking about bananas. + +"I am tired of bananas," said Jacko. "I wish I could get a cocoa-nut." + +"It would make you very fat," said the rats. + +"Yes," said Jacko, "and I don't want to be fat for those old lions." + +"Ho, ho!" said the lions. "A cocoa-nut will make him fat; we'll get him +one at once." + +[Illustration] + +But when they came to the tree they could not reach a single cocoa-nut! + +[Illustration] + +So the lion went back and told the little rats _very fiercely_ that he +would tear down the stones, and eat them all up at once, if they did +not fetch him down some cocoa-nuts at once. + +[Illustration] + +This terrified the little rats. They scampered up the tree, and gnawed +off the cocoa-nuts as fast as they ever could. + +But as the cocoa-nuts fell on the heads of the lion and lioness, and +hurt them very much, the little rats took care to stay up the tree till +it was dark. + +[Illustration] + +As soon as their heads felt a little better, the lion and lioness took +the cocoa-nuts. + +And carried them to Jacko. + +They had to make a very large hole to put them in, but they built it up +carefully again. + +[Illustration] + +Jacko was very much delighted to get the cocoa-nuts, but he had hard +work tearing off the hairy outside. + +However at last he got it all off. Then he smashed the cocoa-nuts with +a stone, and drank the milk, and began eating the nut; and wasn't it +good after a whole week of bananas! + +[Illustration] + +While he ate it, he amused himself making a nice warm coat for himself +of the hairy husk of the cocoa-nuts, and he was so busy he did not +notice how much he was eating. + +[Illustration] + +And when he put his warm coat on he just looked fearfully fat. + +[Illustration] + +And the lion and lioness peeping in, thought it was all Jacko, and they +were delighted. + +"Isn't he fat and tender?" they said. "We'll eat him to-night, and not +wait for Mr. Bear." + +And they went out for a walk, to get a good appetite. + +[Illustration] + +Poor Jacko! He did not eat any more cocoa-nut after he heard that. He +pulled off his coat, and smoothed his hair down with his little paws, +but still he looked fat. + +And he smeared himself all over with bananas to make the hair lie flat, +but _still_ he looked fat. + +So he put on his warm coat again, and lay down, and cried himself to +sleep. + +But you must know the bear was a very greedy old bear, and that very +afternoon, while Jacko was asleep, he came to have a private peep at +him. + +[Illustration] + +And when he saw him looking so lovely and fat, he just could not resist +the temptation, and began pulling down the stones as fast as he could, +intending to eat him all by himself. But he was an awkward, clumsy old +bear, and all of a sudden-- + +[Illustration] + +With a rumble and a _rattle_ and a CLATTER, and a + +CRASH!!! + +the stones all came down on top of him, waking poor little Jacko, and +scaring him nearly out of his wits. But he had the sense to scramble +out as fast as he could. + +[Illustration] + +The lion and lioness were just coming back, and when they heard the +noise they came tearing home like the wind, and met little Jacko just +in the mouth of the cave. + +[Illustration] + +With a fearful roar the lion struck at him with his claws, but they +only stuck in the-- + +[Illustration] + +cocoa-nut coat. + +Jacko wriggled out of it and ran on. + +[Illustration] + +With another fearful roar, the lioness seized him in her teeth. + +But Jacko was so round with eating cocoa-nut, and so slippery with +banana, that he popped out from between her teeth, like an orange seed, +and ran on. + +[Illustration] + +And the next minute he was safe, and scrambling up the cocoa-nut tree +at a rate which shook down most of the cocoa-nuts on to the heads of +the lion and lioness. + +[Illustration] + +So the lion had a sore head, and the lioness had a sore head, and the +bear had a sore head, and they had nothing for dinner but + + BANANAS + + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Story of the Teasing Monkey, by Helen Bannerman + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 43906 *** diff --git a/43906-h.zip b/43906-h.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 30954c5..0000000 --- a/43906-h.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/43906-h/43906-h.htm b/43906-h/43906-h.htm index ed1cffc..6c1b3ca 100644 --- a/43906-h/43906-h.htm +++ b/43906-h/43906-h.htm @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=us-ascii" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> <title> The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Story of the Teasing Monkey, by Helen Bannerman. @@ -68,45 +68,7 @@ hr.chap {width: 65%} </style> </head> <body> - - -<pre> - -Project Gutenberg's The Story of the Teasing Monkey, by Helen Bannerman - -This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with -almost no restrictions whatsoever.

It -was very dark and very cold, and Jacko did not like it at all. - -[Illustration] - -They left a little window to feed him by, and every day they gave him -as many bananas as he liked, because they knew monkeys ate bananas, and -they could get them easily. - -[Illustration] - -Then the lioness wrote a leaf-letter to the bear, asking him to -dinner, which he, of course, accepted with pleasure. - -[Illustration] - -But Jacko did not get fat, and the reason of that was that he soon -tired of bananas, and only ate one every day. He gave all the others to -the rats. - -The lion and lioness were rather worried because Jacko did not get fat, -so one day they stole in to listen to him talking to the rats, and as -it happened they were just talking about bananas. - -"I am tired of bananas," said Jacko. "I wish I could get a cocoa-nut." - -"It would make you very fat," said the rats. - -"Yes," said Jacko, "and I don't want to be fat for those old lions." - -"Ho, ho!" said the lions. "A cocoa-nut will make him fat; we'll get him -one at once." - -[Illustration] - -But when they came to the tree they could not reach a single cocoa-nut! - -[Illustration] - -So the lion went back and told the little rats _very fiercely_ that he -would tear down the stones, and eat them all up at once, if they did -not fetch him down some cocoa-nuts at once. - -[Illustration] - -This terrified the little rats. They scampered up the tree, and gnawed -off the cocoa-nuts as fast as they ever could. - -But as the cocoa-nuts fell on the heads of the lion and lioness, and -hurt them very much, the little rats took care to stay up the tree till -it was dark. - -[Illustration] - -As soon as their heads felt a little better, the lion and lioness took -the cocoa-nuts. - -And carried them to Jacko. - -They had to make a very large hole to put them in, but they built it up -carefully again. - -[Illustration] - -Jacko was very much delighted to get the cocoa-nuts, but he had hard -work tearing off the hairy outside. - -However at last he got it all off. Then he smashed the cocoa-nuts with -a stone, and drank the milk, and began eating the nut; and wasn't it -good after a whole week of bananas! - -[Illustration] - -While he ate it, he amused himself making a nice warm coat for himself -of the hairy husk of the cocoa-nuts, and he was so busy he did not -notice how much he was eating. - -[Illustration] - -And when he put his warm coat on he just looked fearfully fat. - -[Illustration] - -And the lion and lioness peeping in, thought it was all Jacko, and they -were delighted. - -"Isn't he fat and tender?" they said. "We'll eat him to-night, and not -wait for Mr. Bear." - -And they went out for a walk, to get a good appetite. - -[Illustration] - -Poor Jacko! He did not eat any more cocoa-nut after he heard that. He -pulled off his coat, and smoothed his hair down with his little paws, -but still he looked fat. - -And he smeared himself all over with bananas to make the hair lie flat, -but _still_ he looked fat. - -So he put on his warm coat again, and lay down, and cried himself to -sleep. - -But you must know the bear was a very greedy old bear, and that very -afternoon, while Jacko was asleep, he came to have a private peep at -him. - -[Illustration] - -And when he saw him looking so lovely and fat, he just could not resist -the temptation, and began pulling down the stones as fast as he could, -intending to eat him all by himself. But he was an awkward, clumsy old -bear, and all of a sudden-- - -[Illustration] - -With a rumble and a _rattle_ and a CLATTER, and a - -CRASH!!! - -the stones all came down on top of him, waking poor little Jacko, and -scaring him nearly out of his wits. But he had the sense to scramble -out as fast as he could. - -[Illustration] - -The lion and lioness were just coming back, and when they heard the -noise they came tearing home like the wind, and met little Jacko just -in the mouth of the cave. - -[Illustration] - -With a fearful roar the lion struck at him with his claws, but they -only stuck in the-- - -[Illustration] - -cocoa-nut coat. - -Jacko wriggled out of it and ran on. - -[Illustration] - -With another fearful roar, the lioness seized him in her teeth. - -But Jacko was so round with eating cocoa-nut, and so slippery with -banana, that he popped out from between her teeth, like an orange seed, -and ran on. - -[Illustration] - -And the next minute he was safe, and scrambling up the cocoa-nut tree -at a rate which shook down most of the cocoa-nuts on to the heads of -the lion and lioness. - -[Illustration] - -So the lion had a sore head, and the lioness had a sore head, and the -bear had a sore head, and they had nothing for dinner but - - BANANAS - - - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's The Story of the Teasing Monkey, by Helen Bannerman - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE STORY OF THE TEASING MONKEY *** - -***** This file should be named 43906.txt or 43906.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/3/9/0/43906/ - -Produced by David Edwards and the Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was -produced from images generously made available by The -Internet Archive) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
