Mannix the Monkey

Question

by c.safos

Mannix the monkey kept his eyes on the banana. Dr. Fraust, the scientist, kept her eyes on Mannix. She would place the banana under a box, and Mannix would tip the box over to get it. She would take the banana away each time and run a new test. She planned on giving it to him at the end of the testing, but she still had many tests to give.
Mannix would howl each time the banana was taken away. Dr. Fraust placed the banana at the top of a rope, and Mannix raced to the top to get it. When he reached the top, again, Dr. Fraust took away the banana. When Dr. Fraust looked through her notes, she put down her clipboard and her pencil. She held tightly onto the banana. Mannix watched her closely as she talked into her recorder, making notes. He slowly shuffled along the floor to her clipboard. As Dr. Fraust talked into the recorder, her gaze wandered to the next room. She watched a group of orangutans complete different tests. When Mannix saw the doctor was not watching her things, he seized the opportunity. Mannix quickly took the doctor’s clipboard and pencil.
Dr. Fraust panicked. "Mannix," she said, trying to remain calm. "Put down those notes. Come on, boy. Give the notes back to me." Mannix howled with glee and began to tear out the pages one by one. Dr. Fraust gasped and her heart raced. She put the banana on a nearby desk and raced toward Mannix. He threw the clipboard and pencil to the floor. Then, he threw his arms in the air and screeched. As Dr. Fraust went to the floor to recover her papers, Mannix walked to the desk. He grinned, opened the banana, and began to eat. Dr. Fraust desperately looked for her pencil as Mannix continued to laugh. Sitting in the pile of papers, she couldn't help but laugh as well. Mannix had made a monkey out of Dr. Fraust.
