Monkey business

A child's story, written for James Swann, aged 6.

Giorgio and the other monkeys were all pretty excited. He had been to Honey Island before but the others, including Alfred, a Tasmanian white monkey had never been out of the woods.

Tony and Gerald found a starfish in the sand when they got on the ferry. Tony saw it first and was all giggly as he juggled with it, not knowing if it would bite him or not. Mr. Frosty, the ferry captain told them off, reminding them that starfish didn’t like to be disturbed while sleeping.
