The Monkey Man:
The Monkey Man
Long ago when Agnes was small, she used
to always hear stories about the Monkey Man who used to live in
the trees. Here is how the story goes.
Long ago when the people used to go to fishcamp
they always brought another family with them. So after these two
families went to fishcamp, the kids weren't listening to their
parents. The parents were telling the kids to come on up from the
beach or else the Monkey Man would take them away. So all the kids
came up from the beach except for one boy who said he wouldn't be
scared if he got taken away because he would fight the Monkey
Man.
So the boy stayed on the beach all day and all
night long. But in the middle of the night he heard something in
the trees and he got scared. He was going to his parents cabin
when something from behind grabbed him and threw him down. Then
when the boy got up and ran to the cabin door his dad told him to
stay out and follow through with what he said he would
do.
The boy said he was just lieing and that from
now on he would listen. So the parents finally let him in and the
Monkey Man went away. After that the boy always listened to his
parents.
