The Monkeys That Eat Pizza

By Chris, Year 6

Once upon a time, there was a wild monkey called Chris that loved eating. One day he didn’t want to eat fruit any more so he decided to find something else to eat. But his friend Sam said, “Don’t be silly. Monkeys only eat fruit.”

Chris wasn’t listening so he went to the city. He smelled something really good and really yummy, so he followed the smell until he reached a shop with a sign that said, “Pizza.” He tasted a bit of that thing which smelled really good. Then he heard that the thing was called 'pizza'.

The next day he called Sam to come with him to the city to see and taste pizza. Sam also loved pizza, so they decided to make a pizza by themselves. They waited until the owner left, then got to work. They made a pizza that tasted really good.

They decided to make another pizza the next day. But the shop owner saw them. Chris and Sam got such a fright that they jumped right up to the roof!
“Come here, little monkeys,” the owner said. “I won’t hurt you. Come, if you wanted pizza you only had to ask.”

Chris and Sam slowly climbed back down. They shared a pizza with the owner, whose name was Jack, and then Jack asked if they wanted a pizza oven and a pizza base. Chris and Sam were so excited they borrowed Jack’s phone and called 50 extra monkeys to help carry the things home.

Back home, they made a pizza by covering the base with bananas, strawberries and pineapple (these were the only ingredients they had). Unsurprisingly, their pizza tasted just like fruit. It wasn’t quite new food, but Chris still liked it very much.
