He wanted the Monkey and some others to go with him.
Well, by God, if those monkeys were going to climb his tree before he even had a chance to.
The monkey had scrambled up a tree and gone, they said.
Then the monkey went round with a little tin cup.
Eventually, the monkeys can go no further due to a deep ravine.
By this time the monkeys had gone back to finish their animated discussion.
The monkey was not going to let himself be caught by some fool of a human wearing a plastic bag.
Honor accepts that Monkey is never going to become a famous actor.
Once freed, the monkey again went back to biting children leading to his second arrest by the police.
So the little monkey had gone to fetch him.
