Roberto was finally free, he didn’t care anymore. He leapt over the aisles of the store knocking cans from the top. His owner chased after him scolding and berating him. Robert the monkey was through with this fool, he would never dress up in that stupid outfit and beg for money from people passing by. He shrieked as he threw cans, jars, and other items off the shelf at the hairy man. Some of the jars broke and spilled their liquid contents onto the floor. The man chasing him slipped and fell onto his back, Roberto took his time to line up a shot as the man struggled to get up. Blam! a can of green beans struck the man hard in the forehead and he fell back down. Roberto raised his paws in triumph as he scurried towards the door.
“OoooooWhaaaaaaaAaaaAaaaAaaaa!” His cry of freedom rung out in the light of day as he emerged from the store. The cup that he had once used to collect money lay on the ground next to the harpsichord, Roberto took what little money was in the cup and dumped it down a drainage grate that on the edge of the sidewalk. “WhaaaaAaaaAaaa” He turned around to see his former owner coming after him, his clothes covered in various food stains and on his forehead a large goose egg had raised up. “I’ll get you, you monkey!” Roberto threw the empty cup and the man hitting him in the eye. “AaaaH!” The man bent over, covering his eye with his hand. He looked up trying to find the monkey but Roberto was nowhere to be found.
