Sure this is a memory you will never forget.

A monkey on a bike would be a sight to behold.

That monkey looked like he had more than one talent.

Interesting read.

Indeed, you have narrated a true story, this tells about a monkey, and how a monkey did all such activities you still remember even after 60 or more years, the monkey's behaviour for his master is still rememberable; well said, well done, post god speed more, share post not 4 self-joy-pride but 4 God and readers worldwide Alcreator Litt Dear (DR)

You do a great job of recalling the joy of new things, and of course when we're little, we encounter new things more often. I love how you convey the excitement. This was a pleasure to read.

    Thank you for the review and comments, Mike. I'm glad I was able to show how excited that was for me as a child. Back then many things were new and exciting.

This story is an absolute delight. A young child being taken on a special adventure and the story conveys effectively the child's sense of wonder and 'it was a beautiful Summer night'- no further embellishment needed.

    Thank you so much Zanya. It was another time, and it didn't take a lot to get children excited about something simple. I truly appreciate the six stars.

What a treat for you!!!! A memory you will cherish always. I don't think children today get as excited about things as we did in our day. So sad.

We used to have parades when the county fair opened. One year, the Cisco Kid and Poncho were in it. They rode over and shook my hand. I can still remember how I felt then.

    Thank you for the review and nice comments. You are right. Children today would need much more than a street show to get them excited. I'm glad we grew in those days. We were the lucky ones.

    Thank you Wendy. I'm so glad you enjoyed my little story. In those days it was easier to excite children with simple treats. This was very special to me.

This was a delightful story. I truly enjoyed reading as I could feel your excitement in your words about going with your grandparents and in watching the monkey show.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes,
Mary

I enjoyed this true story very much. The antics of the money were so funny. I would have liked to see it with you, but the story was the next best thing. We watched some monkeys in the zoo once where some construction was going in where they were. They took turns jumping down in the hole where a pump of some kind was being placed, then walking around and scratching their heads like they were trying to figure out what was going on. Hilarious to watch!

    Thank you very for a great review. Monkeys are funny to watch when they aren't preforming and are just being themselves. I could watch them for hours. Some of the larger apes act so much like people. I love to watch the adults with their young.

What a wonderful, exotic adventure for a little girl to share with her grandparents. Those traveling shows were big excitement for little towns off the beaten path.
I got a real sense of your 'little girl excitement'. Nicely told.

Best of luck at the polls!

Peace, Lee

    Thank you Lee. I'm surprised and pleased that you give this simple little story such a glowing review. It was very exciting back then. Today is another time, and I doubt if it would have much appeal to a child now. That so much for the six stars.
