I think it was a tragic accident. The macaque and the macaw both found Susan’s hair irresistible. But while the two of them were both playing with it at once, they got a little over-enthusiastic and knocked her off balance, and as she fell, she hit her head on Plant Guy’s heavy ceramic pot. But at least there was a silver lining. The bird and the monkey hit it off, started dating, and lived happily ever after. They would often laugh together about the two weirdos they used to live with.
It’s the perfect beach read! Great fun. And you must really have met a lot of weird guys online.
Cheers,
Barbara
