It was one of the hottest days of the year. Jennifer and John are twins. Identical twins, except for the fact that one is a boy and one is a girl, of course. Anyway, they were walking to the park, because they were going to meet up with some friends. When they got there they wandered around for a bit, because they had noticed that none of there friends were there yet. Something about John and Jennifer is that they are very competitive with each other.
"I bet I can climb that oak tree faster than you." Jennifer exclaimed.
"I bet you can't!" John said even though he was not so sure of himself.
They were off as soon as he said that. They ran to the oak tree and started climbing it. They were neck-and-neck. When they reached the top it was a tie.
"I hate how it's always a tie!" John and Jennifer said in unison.
"Stop it!" they said in unison. Again.
All of a sudden, something blurred flung itself out of the leaves toward Jennifer.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" Jennifer let out a scream. The thing landed on her and they were just a blizzard of hands, feet, and what seemed to be paws. Suddenly, everything just stopped. When Jennifer and John came out of their funk, what they saw was the most unforeseen predicament they could have seen themselves in. There, sitting on Jennifer's lap was a small capuchin monkey. Then, it was gone. The monkey just disappeared.
"Please say you saw it too," Jennifer said.
"Unfortunately, I did," said John.
The next day they were at the park again. John and Jennifer were wary of their surroundings. They were always looking around them, thinking the monkey was still there. All of a sudden the monkey was right in front of them.
"What should we do?" asked John.
Jennifer started towards the monkey.
"It doesn't look so frightening," Jennifer explained. "I think we should take it home with us. It looks lost."
"Fine," John replied reluctantly.
So they took him home. When they got there they started making their home fit for a capuchin monkey. When they were done, Josie, they named her that, lay down for a while.
They heard a knock at the door, and when they opened it they saw a keeper from the local zoo.
"We are missing Jazz, our young capuchin monkey. We were just wondering if you have seen her around. She escaped two days ago."
"No, we haven't seen her," Jennifer said.
"Thank you for your time."
Jennifer shut the door and looked to where Josie was lying down.
"That zookeeper was mean. We cannot let them take Josie."
"Oh thank gosh." The monkey was talking!! "I absolutely hate them!!"
"What did you just say?" asked John.
"I said, I absolutely hate those people. They are so mean."
That is when Jennifer fainted.
"That girl has our monkey. We are going to get her back." The zookeeper was talking to his boss.
"Well, then go!"
"Yes, sir"
After Jennifer and John came to terms with Josie being able to talk, they took Josie for a walk. They looked back and they saw zoo-people running towards them. They started running.
Jennifer, John, and Josie have been on the run ever since.
