The Story of the Teasing Monkey

BY THE AUTHOR OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO LITTLE BLACK MINGO ETC. NEW YORK FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY PHILADELPHIA


Once upon a time there was a very mischievous little monkey, who lived in a big banyan tree, and his name was Jacko.


And in the jungle below there lived a huge, fierce old lion and lioness.


Now Jacko was a very teasing monkey. He used to climb down the long trailing roots of the banyan tree, and pull the tails of all the other creatures, and then scamper up again, before they could catch him.
And he was so bold, he even pulled the tails of the lion and lioness one day.
