MONU AND THE MAGICAL RADIO PRANK!

High up in the snowy Himalayas, where icy winds whooshed and pine forests whispered secrets, lived a golden langur, a snow monkey named Monu-the most mischievous monkey the pine forest had ever seen! He loved playing pranks.

If someone suddenly found their tail tied to a branch... it was Monu.

If someone slipped on a frozen patch of snow... Monu.

If someone found their woollen cap stuffed with pinecones ... Monu again.

If someone heard giggles echoing behind a snow mound ... definitely Monu.

One winter morning, Monu bought a shiny radio from a travelling yak merchant. He loved it-songs, jokes and especially a radio jockey who made him laugh like, "HEE-HEE-HEE-BRRRM!" But the other animals made fun of him.

"Radio? In the age of mobiles?" laughed Pongo the Red Panda.

"Old-fashioned monkey!" giggled Tinsy the Himalayan Monal.

Even Bobo Blue Sheep and Golu Marmot made fun of him.

Monu didn't care much because he loved his radio. But deep inside, his mischievous mind was already cooking up a plan to teach them a lesson! One morning, while listening to his favourite program, the radio signal suddenly got disturbed.

"Crackkk ... trrrrr... bzzzz...' دو Monu tried tuning it. He changed the band He tapped the radio and suddenly ......"GRRR-TRUUM-VAAK-VOOO..." A strange robotic voice screached from the radio! "What was that?" Monu's eyes grew wide.

The voice spoke again in a language he didn't understand. Monu got scared for a moment, but curiosity won.

"Who are you?" he whispered.

"Grrr-trum-vaa... prrr-zooo," the radio replied.

Monu gasped. "Is the radio ... talking to me?" He tried asking more questions.

The radio answered each time in its weird robotic language and Monu burst into laughter.

"It's foreign radio signals! But oh, what fun!" He quickly wrote down the frequency for later.
