the people, a large monkey was fooling around and amusing everyone as only she could. She jumped on a twelve-year old boy, the captain’s son, tore off his hat and briskly climbed the mast. Everyone laughed, and the boy began to cry. The boy wanted to catch the monkey, but she climbed to the top ofthe mast, took off the hat and began to tear it into small pieces with her claws and teeth.
«You won’t get away from me!» shouted the boy and ran to complain to his father. Someone in the crowd gasped in fear.
At this time, the ship’s captain came out of the cabin. He carried a rifle for shooting gulls. He saw the monkey on the mast and immediately took aim and shouted: «Jump! Jump into the water now! Or I shoot!»
The monkey staggered, but did not understand. «Jump or I shoot! One, two…» And as soon as the father shouted «Three!» the monkey swung her head down and jumped. Suddenly someone shouted from the deck «Shark!!!» and we all saw the back of the sea monster in the water.
«Come back! Come back! Shark!!!» cried the captain. But the monkey did not hear and was falling down faster than ever.
The captain, pale as a sheet, was motionless and stared at the monkey. The monkey at first did not hear what he shouted and did not see the shark, but once she saw it, we heard a piercing shriek. The squeal sound brought the captain back to reality. He jumped up and ran to the mortar gun. He loaded it, turned the trunk, lay the gun, aimed and took the wick.
All of us on the ship were like one, frozen with fear and waiting for what will happen next.
As soon as the monkey’s body touched the water, a bang rang out, and we saw that the captain fell down beside the mortar and covered his face with his hands.
He cried.
We do not know what happened to the shark or the monkey, for the smoke blinded our eyes.
