Captain Monkey paints a sign.

AT LITTLE MONKEY’S SWIMMING SCHOOL
Little Monkey lost his tail, and the other monkeys made so much fun of him that he could not live with them any more. He went away by himself and fed on berries. He was sitting on the bank of the river one day, when the earth gave way, and he fell in the water. He swam out again, and as he did, he had an idea.
“I’ll start a swimming school,” said he. “I’ll teach all the other animals to swim so that their lives will be saved if they fall into the water.”
So Little Monkey built houses on the shore of the river and put up a sign which read:
Captain L. Monkey,
Swimming Skule.
Bathing Suits to Hire.
Tiger’s open mouth scares Little Monkey.
