Curious George

Once there was a family of five boys. The littlest boy was George. He was a cute little monkey who was loved by everyone who met him and he was always very curious.

One day he decided to have a look in the violin music and fish food. It was so fun to mess up piles of disorganized music and dump out the little fish food pellets. They even tasted pretty good! Uh-oh! He said, as he crawled away.

When his mother scolded,"George!" he looked at her like this, and in spite of herself, she smiled at him instead!

The next day he wondered what would happen if he took off all the magnets and pictures he could possibly reach from the front of the fridge and throw them on the floor. When nothing at all happened, he moved on disappointedly to discover the inner workings of the dishwasher.

At this point, his mother caught up with him, but he already knew how to handle her! Again, the Look:

The following day was laundry day at George's house. Determined to roll in, climb on, taste, or put on each piece of laundry that lay in the pile, George attacked Laundry Mountain. However, his curiosity was soon directed elsewhere, so his poor mother quickly took her chance and finished folding the laundry just in the nick of time.

Feeling that the need to satisfy his curiosity was almost at an end, George turned to one of the ever-present hockey card binders belonging to his older brothers. Fascinated, he turned the pages over and over, attempting to dislodge the special cards held therein.
When discovered, he cast this look upon all who might try to stop him:

When it seemed he had covered all the ground in his house from the toy castle
to the upstairs potty, George sought out his Daddy's warm hug and settled down to rest...until a new day arrived to test his curiosity once again!
THE END
