Once upon a time, there was a monkey named Louie who loved to play pranks. One day, he decided to play a trick on his animal friends, the kangaroo, mouse, lion, and ostrich.
He took their favorite foods, lemon for the mouse, noodles for the kangaroo, and put them in a box with a key that was stuck in his nose! The friends didn't know what to do and tried to get the key out of Louie's nose but couldn't.
Just then, an octopus appeared and offered to help. He used his many arms to gently remove the key from Louie's nose and open the box, revealing the lemon and noodles.
The friends were so grateful and laughed at Louie's silly trick. They all sat down and enjoyed their treats together, realizing the importance of friendship and having fun!
