The monkey would not eat much, he seemed too weary, but he bowed his thanks and then put his head on her hand again. When the man stopped playing the lady told him he would lose his monkey if he did not let it rest.

The man laughed and sat down under a tree. This seemed to please the monkey, for he went to him and kissed him and then returned to his new friend, nestling down in her lap like a tired child.
"He has danced too much when it was warm," said the man in broken English.
"Then you must be very good and let him sleep." After a good rest the organ-grinder went away with him, and soon after Toots went with all the family to the sea-side, where the monkeys in the park made them think of their tired little visitor. Long, long after, when winter came and all the family were in town and all the aunts and cousins were invited to meet grandpa Bergland—little May's grandpa from over the sea, the door opened just in the very midst of the Christmas festival, and in walked Leno, all dressed in his best suit.
"Where is his master?" asked Toots, "bring him in and let him show us the old tricks."
So the master came in. He said, "the kind ladies and gentlemen must excuse him, but he could not make Leno pass the gate where the lady was so kind to him when he was sick."
"He was quite sick then, poor thing!" said Toots' mamma.
