| Summary | "The Monkey's Frolic: A Humorous Tale, in Verse by Anonymous" is a whimsical poem likely written in the early to mid-19th century. This humorous tale belongs to the genre of children's literature, illustrating the humorous and mischievous antics of a monkey and a cat. The story is set in a domestic environment, presenting a light-hearted theme appealing to young readers. The narrative follows a mischievous monkey named Pug who, in his playful spirit, decides to engage in the task of giving his friend, a cat named Puss, a shave. His attempt at being a barber leads to chaotic and comedic outcomes as Puss struggles against his playful antics. The situation escalates when they both end up on the house's roof, creating a ruckus that attracts the attention of adults. This culminates in a humorous confrontation with a sick old gentleman, who, startled by the monkey and cat's mischievous deeds, hilariously finds a cure for his gout through the fright caused by the commotion. Ultimately, the tale reflects on clever moral lessons amidst the pandemonium, emphasizing the importance of examining one’s fears and the unexpected outcomes of seemingly trivial actions.
