The Monkey and the Hand-Organ Man
When my mother was a little girl, a hand-organ man sometimes came to our city.
His pet monkey would sit on top of the hand-organ.
This monkey wore a green cap, a bright red jacket, and little black trousers.
Sometimes he lifted his cap, as if he were saying, “How do you do!”
After the hand-organ man had played some lively music, the monkey collected pennies from the people who were listening.
He always brought the pennies to his master.
The monkey did many tricks.
My mother and her playmates were always sorry when the hand-organ man went away.
I wish I could see a hand-organ man and a monkey sometime soon again.
