George is a little monkey. He lives in a deep forest. He likes jumping and climbing trees. He is happy every day. But he has a shortcoming. He is curious.
One day an old man goes by the forest. He carries a lot of straw hats. George sees the man, and the man sees George, too. The man says to himself, "What a lovely monkey! I will catch him. I will take him home."
The man sits down and thinks over. George sees and also sits down. The man has an idea. He puts a hat on his head, and puts other hats on the ground. Then he pretends to sleep.
George is curious and looks at the hats. "I will be nice if I put a hat on my head." George thinks. Then he climbs down from the tree, picks up a hat and puts it on. The hat is too big, and covers George's eyes. George can't see. And the man gets up at once, rushes out and catches him quickly.
