Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Monkey on His Back
Join Howard B. Wigglebottom, a young rabbit, who struggles with honesty as he feels the weight of a metaphorical monkey on his back each time he tells a lie. Will Howard learn the importance of telling the truth and set himself free from the burden?
Howard B. Wigglebottom loved to play with his toys. But one day, he accidentally broke his favorite toy truck. - Oh no, what will I tell Mommy? Howard wondered. He felt a little monkey sit on his back. - I can't tell the truth, it's too scary, Howard thought.
Howard decided to hide the broken pieces in his toy chest. - I hope no one finds out, he whispered. But the monkey on his back made him feel uneasy. - Why does this monkey bother me so much? Howard grumbled. His friend Bunny noticed Howard's discomfort.
The next day, Howard's friend Bunny asked to play with the truck. - Where's your truck, Howard? Bunny asked. Howard hesitated, feeling the monkey get heavier. - Um, I don't know, he replied nervously. The lie made the monkey giggle and wiggle on his back.
Howard felt sad and wanted to give up. - I can't play with my friends now, he sighed. The monkey seemed to grow bigger and heavier. - Maybe I should just stay inside forever, Howard thought sadly. He felt trapped by his own lie.
Howard's mom noticed his sadness. - Howard, what's wrong? she asked gently. Howard took a deep breath. - I broke my truck, and I lied about it, he confessed. The monkey on his back started to fade away. - It's okay, Howard, we'll fix it together, his mom reassured.
With a smile, Howard and his mom fixed the toy truck. - Thank you, Mommy, Howard beamed. The monkey was now completely gone. - I feel so much lighter, he said happily. Howard learned that telling the truth made everything better.
