One cold dark Friday night Melvin the monkey was taking his nightly walk through the main street of the town Animal Central when he said to himself “I am so cold I have goose bumps on my goose bumps “, so he ran over to a generator that seemed to be pumping out heat which was next to the arts and crafts shop and thought “I am actually quite tired”, so he jumped on top of it just for a short nap.

Two hours later Melvin awoke to the sound of a big truck, Melvin looked down to see Alley the Elephant dropping off huge barrels full of glue for the Arts and Crafts shop, she left them just next to the generator then set off towards the gymnasium to drop off the water supplies.  Melvin got to his feet and stretched looking up onto the roof of the arts and crafts shop, he saw a reflection of something shiny so he automatically leaped up onto the roof, and it was a skylight.  Melvin leaned on the skylight peering through; “craaccck” the sky light was breaking so Melvin got a fright and jumped backwards flying of the roof and straight into a barrel of glue. 

Melvin flew out of the barrel fully covered in sticky white glue.   He panicked and ran to the door of the Arts and Crafts shop thinking it was open, and he ran straight bang into the door and fell to the ground, but wasting no time, with a bit of concussion, he ran to the next shop which was the barber shop.   Since it was the end of the week they were throwing out all the hair from their clients, so it was in a big pile next to the door waiting for Alley the elephant to come pick it up.  Melvin ran inside for help before the glue dried all over him forever. He missed the sign that said “caution slippery floor” in all of his frustration and went sliding right into the big pile of hair.  Melvin woke up five minutes later with a big bump on his hairy head.  He slowly stood to his feet and got a big shock to find that he had hair from his head to his toes, and thought “now I will never ever be cold again”.
