Quills Quotes & Notes: A Children's Story by Rosemary Phillips


Morgan the Monkey



Mischievous Morgan Monkey missed going to school one day. He was swinging through the forest and couldn’t find his way. He was lost, that Morgan Monkey, and was scared of every sound. He didn’t want to move and stayed way up above the ground.

Instead of watching where he went his mind had gone astray, and now he missed his dance class that he loved so much each day. He loved to do the motions, he loved to take a chance, and when the music played, he loved to dance and dance. But now he stood so still, upon the highest bough, waiting for someone to find him, somehow.

A bird in the tree saw Morgan was afraid. She said, "I’ll take a message to your school in the glade."

Morgan felt much better and sang a merry tune, for he knew his friends would find him very soon.

"I must remember where I am," he began to say. "Then I won’t get lost again. I'll find my own way."

Just then his friends came running by. He climbed down the tree.

"Who likes to dance all day?" they cried.

Morgan shouted, "Me!"
