Very small, inside and out, the small hut is made of straw that has turned dingy from mold and time. Two cutout for windows and a brown cloth door mark the front entrance. Inside, there is only a wooden chair and table upon which sits a small wooden bowl and spoon.

a monkey friend

I am looking for a new place to live.  I have been to many places.  My life is on the road and I like it what way.
Indeed you are! I can't say I have much experience with talking animals other than the occasional parrot.  I'm the only monkey in rom our forest who can talk with humans. I was raised by the King, when he was a boy. He has taught you well! Your English is almost flawless. If we weren't facing each other, I'd swear I was speaking to a fellow man.  Oh yes, I also used to help him study his mathematics. I am a wizard at algebra. How fascinating! Were you always this intelligent, or did you possess your gifts from supernatural means? I think I'm just a little smarter than your average monkey, unfortunately the Queen didn't like me and made me leave the castle. I'm sorry to hear that! But I am glad I got to meet you on my travels! Speaking of, where exactly is here? I seem to have lost my map. This compass is all wrong. It's not going to work here in the backwards rain forest.  You will surely get lost without my help. I'm glad you are here then, my friend! Could you please tell me how to get to the nearest town? I am running short on supplies. It is quite far. Why don't you stay in this hut tonight, and I will gladly show you the way to town tomorrow morning, bright and early. That would be much appreciated! By the way, I don't suppose that huge spider by the corner of the hut is venomous?  I'm scared to death of spiders! Don't make eye contact, whatever you do!
