Monkey Nativity – part 3 | monkeyandmillie

The story continues….

All the animals bearing gifts were waiting patiently for the arrival of the monkey baby…..

And lo and behold, it was born. Everyone was very excited – hare almost fainted! But soon recovered and hugged the baby with tears in his eyes –

Oh I am so overcome with emotion! said Hare

And he took the first official photo of the new monkey baby in the cave – the three wise animals bring their gifts of chocolate, perfume and something nice for Millie Mary

The baby is born and lies gurgling in the crib

But Bear was a bit worried. He was worried that he didn’t have a present for the monkey baby!

Bear was worried that he did not have a present for the baby

Don’t worry said Monkey Joseph – here take the box Hare gave you your alarm clock in and we’ll put in a good book.

It’s always good to recycle wrapping paper and boxes at Christmas. Bear and Hare were very aware of the importance of recycling

A perfect gift for the monkey baby

Bear gave the present to the monkey baby and Monkey Joseph and Millie Mary were most pleased with their gift. Aah thank you said Monkey Joseph – we will read this to the baby every night.

All the animals then sat round the baby in its crib and Hare took turns with Bear to read their story of how Bear had enjoyed his first and best Christmas ever

The story is read to the new baby

Everyone had had a Christmas they would never forget. And all the animals slept soundly that night. Bear, hare, monkey Joseph, Millie Mary and the baby all slept soundly in the cave. In the morning, bear crept out and got them all some bagels for breakfast so they could celebrate in style. He also picked up a lovely Christmas decoration that Owl had been selling to earn a little bit of pocket money in the wood – he thought it carried the best Christmas message of all –
