Todd and the Great Monkey Adventue Part 2

The next morning Todd woke and ate breakfast.

"Todd I have a treat for breakfast," said Todd's Mom.

"What is it Mom?, " asked Todd.

"I took a cooking class yesterday while you were gone and I learned how to make mandazies. They are a local African treat that is like a donut," said Todd's Mom.

After they ate Todd asked his Mom and Dad if he could explore the woods again and they said Yes. Todd walked through the woods to the village of monkeys. When Todd got there Todd saw Aslochoo moving a cannon.

"Hey Aslochoo what is the cannon for?"


"We used it in yesterday's battle and we stole it, I'm telling you my tribe has been here for a long time,"
 said Aslochoo.

"Because we didn't finish the tour yesterday we will finish it now and I will show you the police station."

When they arrived at the police station there was a monkey at a desk filling out papers. He looked up and said "So your the one I heard of. I'm Sergeant John the Military Commander and the Chief of Police," said the sergeant smoking a cigar.

"Hey where did you get that cigar? I didn't know monkey's smoked cigars," said Todd.

"Aslochoo stole a whole store full of cigar's. Aslochoo can I have a word alone with Todd?" asked Sergeant John.

Aslochoo walked out of the room and shut the door.

"Todd we are fighting our worst enemy, they are the Joochoo tribe," said the sergeant. "What's the name of the tribe we are in?" asked Todd.

"The Jeeweecoo tribe, look out the window and you'll see a tall tree above all the other trees," explained Sargent John.

"Where?"

"Like a mile away," said John.

"I see it."

"Well the last battle," "You mean yesterdays battle interrupted Todd".

"Yes, yesterday's battle. Well, the other tribe reached the tree and we defended our ground there. You are in danger Todd if you stay in the village."

When John was done with the conversation, Todd got up and walked out of the room. OsloChoo was waiting for him outside and said, "You should get back to your house and your Mom is probably expecting you since it's late."

The next four days Todd kept going back to the monkeys and on the fifth day Todd saw OsloChoo putting two Thompsons on a Super Cub airplane.

"Hey, what's that asked Todd."

"The plane or the machine gun?"

"I know you stole the plane but what's the machine gun for," asked Todd?

"It's for the next battle, I'm telling you, my tribe has been here for a long time."

"Are you saying those Thompsons are from WWII" asked Todd.

"Yes," said OsloChoo.

"Can you help me strap these RPG onto the mule over there?"

"Just to let you know, I stole the mule too," said OsloChoo.

When they walked over there, there was a panda. Todd wondered what a panda was doing there in Africa.

"Hi, I'm a panda and my name is Pon Pon."

When the panda said this OsloChoo just rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing here? You should be in China" said Todd.

Then Pon Pon pulled down on the zipper on his back and the panda suit fell to the ground and a monkey stepped out.

Then the monkey said "Hi, I'm Jack."

"Let me guess, you stole the panda costume too," Todd said.

"Exactly," replied Jack.

Jack looked about 15 years old and wore aviator sunglasses and a baseball cap.

"What is your job," asked Todd?

"Well, I'm the engineer and the pilot, my pilot name in Juliet, Alpha, Charlie, Kilo," said Jack.

"Now Todd, let's strap these RPG to the mule and also the anti-air gun," said OsloChoo.

An hour later, when they were done putting silent guns on all the vehicles Todd asked "Why are the guns silenced?"

"Well because we don't want anyone living around here to hear our battles. Even the anti-air guns are silenced."

"Hey Todd would you like to come along and join us in battle today?" asked OsloChoo.

Todd said yes!

"Would you like to man the airplane gun or ride on the back of an ATV with a saw gun which is a heavy duty machine gun that was used in WWII also?"

"I'll ride on the ATV. replied Todd."

"Then you are with me, since that is my vehicle I'm driving."

Later, they headed to the battle field. "OsloChoo, do the enemies have vehicles?"

"Yes."

As they were driving, there was a change in plan so they went to the bunker. When they arrived Todd saw Sargent John, Paul, Zach and Jack and tons of other monkeys wearing ghillie suits.

"Todd," said OsloChoo, "you need to wear this" and he handed him a ghullie suit.

"Attention!" Sargent John said. "Max, Romeo and Dozer, you all will be in the chopper and Romeo you pilot it. Zach and Jack you two are in the Super Cub and Jack you are the pilot."

Sargent John assigned tons of other monkeys jobs except Todd and OsloChoo because they already knew what they needed to do.

After that was done they headed to the battle field. There was a huge blob in the distance. As they got closer the big blob looked like a tank.

BOOM!

Todd looked to the right and saw a huge crater.

BOOM!

Todd looked to the left and saw another huge crater. Then the tank shot at Todd and Aslochoo.

BOOM!

Aslochoo swerved the ATV out of the way, then Jack and Zack swooped down and blew up the tank.

BOOM!

An anti air gun shot at Jack and Zack. They had Just the right amount of time to eject. They landed safely and the mule came to pick them up. Sargent John helped them up into the mule.

"Jack and Zack can you guy's set the force field generator to the mode 'all around the entire world except the enemies'."
"Hold the phone, force fields have not even been invented yet, they are only on Star Wars and other space movies. So where did we get this one?" asked Jack.

"You didn't now that Aslochoo has traveled to the future and stole it from the Gungans on Naboo in Stars Wars man," said Zack
"Can you guys do that?" asked Sargent John

"YES SIR!"

So the monkeys set the force field generator to protect the entire world against the enemies. And then they blew up Joochoo tribe and saved the rest of the world.
Todd returned to his family hanging out at the beach in Watamu to finish his vacation and never mentioned a word to his Mom or Dad about his great monkey adventure.
Mom's (editor) note:
Cameron was asked to write about our time at Watamu Beach in Kenya. We made a deal and I let him write fiction loosely based on our time there. We had jungleish woods all around the house filled with wild monkeys. Each day they would come and entertain us by playing on the trees and drinking from the watering hole on the property. One day two visited Ryan while he was taking a shower in the beautiful outdoor shower. We learned from the housekeeper that the monkeys have been known to steal personal belongings if left out overnight. It's not a huge problem like OsloChoo has but none the less it has happened. So that is the context of Cameron's story and his vivid imagination.
