The monkey that would not kill
A mischievous monkey nicknamed Tricky upends domestic tranquillity with endless pranks, prompting repeated attempts to dispose of him and leading to a string of episodic adventures. After causing mayhem at home and among neighbours, the animal drifts into new surroundings where its inventiveness and audacity repeatedly spare it from harm and embroil others in comic crises. The book traces a succession of narrowly avoided disasters and eccentric rescues, balancing slapstick incidents with quieter moments that show how persistent mischief can provoke irritation, reluctant affection, and unexpected resilience.
