Charming story! Vividly told--clearly, your memory of the startling experience has not dimmed in all these years. The pic is perfect--you got the red shirt!

Congratulations for winning in this contest, Beth. It's a lovely childhood memory. I never got to see those performing memories, but I remembers seeing many pictures of them. What a special time for you with your grandparents. Well done.

Such a cute story you have. I just wished he had found Hitler to do the deed! But I digress. Great descriptions of your surroundings and the show. It brought back memories of my own. My grandparents lived in a similar way. Thank you for this wonderfully memory.

Hello. There,
Excellent entry for the A Family Trip writing prompt contest.
I enjoyed reading your story. It moved along nicely and the plot was easy to understand and follow. Good character development if the little girl, you? The monkey sounds adorable.
Well done, my friend.

Thank you so much Ric. I had a pretty good childhood and it didn't take much to get me excited. I doubt if children today would get so thrilled over something so simple. Still I'm pretty thrilled with the six stars. Thanks for making my day.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Yeah, this is a heart-rendering story and my heart went out to the monkey doing tricks for coins. I am sure you enjoyed seeing a monkey for the first time but I felt for the monkey who had no choice but to dance and sing for his supper! A natural monkey doesn't wear clothes and do tricks. It lives in its natural environment where other monkeys live and play with each other.
I am happy you had a good time though and it bodes well for your grandparents that they took you out in the evening away from the crowds. I hope the monkey at some time or other gets to go back to his natural ways.
Thanks for sharing your true story with us all.

Ahh Jesse, you make me feel bad for monkey. I agree most wild animal would rather be in the wild, and feel I sorry for many zoo animals. Monkeys are smart and social animals that seem to like people. They act a lot like children and seem to want to please and have make people laugh. I'm not sure monkeys don't enjoy
being people pleasers, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the review and comments.

The natural habitat of the monkey must always be supreme!
It is the natural order of things.

This family trip story, The Monkey Show, certainly sounds like a terrific show to see. I know the first time I saw a monkey up close was exciting and funny. Good story.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a sweet story about a time with your grandparents. The font is large enough and easy to read. The story had interesting and descriptive details. You for sure met the requirements for the prompt and did it well. The photo of the monkey is a bit too modern but overall, it's great. Good luck in the contest.
