The Monkey and the Toe

Somebody paid for the homeless Monkey’s pedicure. Because its toenails were hoofs — long and strong! While chopping those bad boys off, they missed a nail and took a off a whole toe!

The Monkey took off running, in pain. Through the wilderness, the forest and the jungle. Sleeping under trees and praying on its knees. It sought all the trials and tribulations society had to offer, just trying to replace its toe.

It took decades, but the Monkey never gave up.

Eventually, over the course of time, it evolved, and the toe grew back on its own!

The Monkey began singing and dancing. It came back to the pedicurist and stuck its foot out.
