You realize your mistake and open your mouth to say no, but all that
comes out of your mouth is "Ook!"
You feel yourself shrinking into your oversize clothing as your skin
becomes covered with dense fur. You trip on your tail as you climb out
of your clothing.
"Uhhhhh," moans the being formerly known as Lerch, "Ah!"
He fits you with a tiny vest and fez. Then he offers you a tin cup in
exchange for the clapperless bell.
You freak and run off ringing the sound of silence as you flee.
"Stupid monkey," the being says slowly shaking his head. He pursues.
You run, leap over the wall and race into the nearby park. You jump
into a young roller blader's arms.
"Whoa, Mr. Monkey, where'd'ya come from? What's got you so riled? Is
it this bell?" he asks taking it from you and shaking it, "It doesn't
even work?"
"What is your wish?"
"Huh? Oh, is this your monkey? He seems awfully upset," he says as you
shriek and chatter incessantly, "I wish I could understand him."
"You idiot! You were supposed to wish I was human so you could
understand me - instead he turned you into a monkey too!" you shout as
you grab the bell back from the shrinking ball of fur who ends up
rocking back in forth in his safety helmet.
You dart away, "I've got to find somebody to wish us back before he
gets the bell and vanishes."
The entity formerly known as Lerch laughs, "Uhhhhh, I think you need a
tiny roller skating costume to fit your new stature, monkey punk." He
dresses the former skater punk as a circus acrobatic monkey.
You climb a tree and spot one of your friends playing Frisbee. You
head to take him the bell.
