Once there was a peddler (“P” bead) who sold caps. First he
had his own checked cap, then the gray caps (gray bead), brown caps (brown bead),
blue caps (blue bead), and red caps on the very top (red bead). He walked up
and down the streets calling “Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!” One day
he couldn’t sell any caps and went for a walk in the country until he came to a
nice big tree (green, leafy bead). “That’s a nice place for a rest,” thought
he. So he went to sleep (“Z” bead). But when he woke up, all his caps were gone
except his own checked cap (“O” bead… as in zero caps. Too much of a stretch?).
He looked into the tree. And what do you think he saw? On every branch sat a
monkey and on every monkey was a cap (“M” bead).
The peddler shook his finger
at the monkeys (index finger bead). “You monkeys, you, you give me back my
caps.” But the monkeys only shook their fingers back at him and said, “tsz,
tsz, tsz.” This made the peddler angry,
so he shook his hands at them (fist bead) and said, “You monkeys, you! You give me back my caps.” But the monkeys
only shook their hands back at him and said, “tsz, tsz, tsz.” This made the
peddler very angry, so he stamped his feet at them (foot bead) and said, “You
monkeys, you! You give must give me back
my caps!” But the monkeys only shook their hands back at him and said, “tsz,
tsz, tsz.”
The peddler was so angry (“P” bead) that he took off his own
cap, threw it on the ground, and began to walk away. But then, all the monkeys
(“M” bead) took their caps and threw them out of the tree. So, the peddler (“P”
bead) picked up the caps and began to stack them on his head: first own checked
cap, then the gray caps (gray bead), brown caps (brown bead), blue caps (blue
bead), and red caps on the very top (red bead). Very slowly, he walked back to
town calling, “Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!”
