The monkey went into a store and bought himself a pair of gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Back in the woods, the monkey put on his colorful gloves and showed them off everywhere: \u201cEveryone, come take a look! Look how beautiful my gloves are!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The myna bird chimed in, \u201cYes, yes, they\u2019re so beautiful! So beautiful!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The little orangutan, who loved to flatter, said, \u201cHey, Monkey! You look especially spry in those gloves today\u2014so elegant and dashing!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Only the elderly donkey was unimpressed, saying, \u201cGloves are meant exclusively for humans; we animals shouldn\u2019t just blindly copy them. A monkey wearing gloves looks a bit out of place to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing the donkey\u2019s words, the monkey snapped:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou stupid donkey, what do you know! I think you\u2019re just too jealous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A few days later, the monkey suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized because he had climbed a tree while wearing gloves, lost his grip on a branch, and fell from the tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Monkey Wears Gloves<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":719,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[21,18],"class_list":["post-717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-children","tag-children","tag-story"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":720,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717\/revisions\/720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
