Children's Story: Twist, the Little Monkey - Essay Example

Nina became very angry and said, “Come at once for breakfast or you will get nothing to eat for the whole day”. Listening to this statement, Twist hurried to the dining table and had his breakfast. His father left the dining table and waved them goodbye before leaving the home. When Twist finished his breakfast, he moved towards the window near the dining table to see down.

When he saw down, he found his friend, Shady playing with his new bicycle. Twist, at once, wished to go downstairs to meet and play with his friend. He asked Nina, “Mom, I want to go downstairs for playing with Shady. He has a new bicycle. Please, let me go.”Nina said, “Twist, Do you remember what you did last time when I allowed you to play with Shady”. “Mom, I will do nothing wrong today and I will not fight with Shady. Please, let me go, please, please, please…”, Twist said pleadingly.

Nina said, “Listen! There is a fierce Lion in the forest nowadays who catches children and makes them captive in his cave. He lives near the big mountain. Twist, promise me that you will not leave the front ground and then you can go”.“Okay, Mom, I promise”, he said hurriedly. Twist listened to her mom, but regarded it as a threatening lie only. He reached downstairs and challenged Shady that he could not win by riding the bicycle. They decided to reach an old oak tree near the big mountain and the winner was to get the best toy from the loser’s collection.

They started riding their bicycles and Twist paid no heed to his mother’s advice. The twist was faster and he won the race. When he was celebrating his victory, he listened to a roar of a lion.
