Naomi Stories

Please note: no creatures were harmed in the making of this story.

I was zooming through space like a crazy comet, ready to cause some mayhem. Let me introduce myself: I’m the one and only Monkey, and I was looking for fun on a brand new planet!

Suddenly—BAM!—I crash-landed on a grassy hill. Below me, I spotted woodland animals going about their daily business like it was just another normal Tuesday.

My sidekick, Action Dog, had just finished breakfast. And guess what he ate? Bangers and mash? Nope—actual bangers. As in, things that go BOOM.

Before I could say “banana pancakes,” Action Dog was sprinting in circles with a dynamite in his mouth. It exploded in a massive blast that shook the trees and made all the birds fly off squawking.

I tilted my head and spotted a little bunny wearing a T-shirt and a cap. He looked me right in the eye and shouted,
“I bet you smell like beef!”

Next thing I knew, Action Dog dove headfirst into a giant oil tank filled with—wait for it—orange juice, then bounced into a mountain of potatoes. Total chaos!

Then it got even weirder.

The bunny suddenly pulled a laser blaster from under his cap and zapped me right in the chest! I flew backward, stars spinning in my eyes. The last thing I saw was Action Dog licking my face.

When I woke up, everything had changed.

I was lying in front of something tall and strange. A sign on it read “building.”
“Whoa,” I muttered. “I didn’t know there were bill-dings in the woods!”

“You’re not in the woods, weirdo,” said a voice.

I looked up and saw a grey monkey munching on a banana, swinging from a lamppost like it was no big deal.

“GASP! I crash-landed in the land of the hoo-mans!” I yelped.
“Quick, kid—what’s the shortest root back to the woods?”

The monkey sighed and said, “Just call a taxi.”

So I did.

One hour later, I was back in the woods, ready for round two of monkey mayhem. Because when I visit a planet… it’s never boring for long.
