Naughty Monkey Helps Mr. Plumber — Mono Travieso ayuda al Sr. Fontanero

Naughty Monkey loved to climb. He climbed on everything.

A mono travieso le encantaba trepar. Se subía en todas partes.

Monkey! Stop climbing on that water pipe, said Mum. You will break it!

— ¡Mono!, deja de trepar por esa tubería del agua, —dijo Mamá— ¡La vas a romper!

The water pipe bent away from the wall.

La tubería se dobló separándose de la pared.

Ah! Monkey said. What's happening?

— ¡Oh! —dijo Mono—. ¿Qué está pasando?

Get down Monkey! Mum said angrily.

— ¡Bájate Mono! — Dijo Mamá enfadada.

It was too late. Crash! The water pipe broke, and water sprayed everywhere.

Era demasiado tarde. ¡Crash! La tubería del agua se rompió, y el agua salpicaba por todas partes.

Monkey landed in the kitchen sink.

Mono aterrizó en el fregadero de la cocina.

Yuck! Yuck!

¡Puag! ¡Puag!

Monkey spat water out his mouth. He jumped out of the sink and away from the spray of water.

Mono escupía agua por la boca. Saltó fuera del fregadero y lejos del chorro de agua.

Mum opened the cupboard
