THE CIRCUS MONKEY The music plays. The lights shine. The children laugh and talk. The monkey runs into the circus ring. He wears a purple jacket and a funny little hat. He runs, he jumps, he walks on his hands. He stands on a big ball and holds and umbrella. He rides a pink bicycle and plays a trumpet. He waves to the children. They laugh and clap. At night the monkey looks through the bars of his cage and sees the moon. He shuts his eyes and sleeps. He sees a forest, dark and green. He feels warm rain on his face. He hears a parrot, a snake, a tiger. He swings and swings and swings through the trees. 1. Where does the monkey play? 2. What colour is his bicycle? 3. What musical instrument does he play? 4.
