The man agreed immediately and gave his knife to the monkey. The monkey jumped here and there and started singing,"Lost I my tail, but I got a knife – dum, dum, dum."
While it was going here and there, the monkey met a man carrying a basket of mango.
The poor man did not having a knife to cut the mangos, so when he saw that the monkey with knife, he asked the monkey, "Can you please give the knife to me? I will cut and eat a mango and give the knife back to you."
The monkey agreed and gave the knife to him. The man started to cut the mango.
Unfortunately the knife broke while he was cutting the first mango.
The monkey shouted at him, "You broke my knife. So you give me all the mangos. If you do not I will pinch you."
The man got scared and gave the monkey his basket of mangos. The monkey, now carrying the basket of mangos on his head sang, "Lost I my tail, but I got a knife – dum, dum, dum. Lost I my knife, but I got lot of mangos – dum, dum, dum."
While it was going like this, the monkey met a musician with his pipe.
The poor musician was very hungry, so when he saw the monkey carrying mangos, he asked, "Dear Monkey, I am very hungry. Can you give me a few mangos?"
The monkey agreed and gave the basket of mangos to him.
The musician was very hungry, so he ate all the mangos in the basket. This made the monkey very angry.
He told the musician, "You have finished off all my mangos. I do not like it at all. So give me your pipe. Otherwise I will bite you."
The musician did not like it, but being afraid of the monkey, he gave his pipe to it. The monkey now sang, "Lost I my tail, but I got a knife – dum, dum, dum. Lost I my knife, but I got lot of mangos – dum, dum, dum. Lost I my mangos, but I got a pipe to sing – dum, dum, dum."
While it was going like this, it met a drummer who badly wanted a pipe to sing along with his drum.
He asked the monkey, "I am having only a drum. But if I play the pipe along with the drum, it would be nice. Can you give your pipe to me?"
The monkey agreed, but when the drummer tried to play the pipe, it got spoiled. This made the monkey very angry.
The monkey told the drummer, "You have spoiled my pipe. So you give me your drum, otherwise I will scratch you."
The drummer was afraid of the monkey and gave the drum to it. The monkey now sang, "Lost I my tail, but I got a knife – dum, dum, dum. Lost I my knife, but I got lot of mangos – dum, dum, dum. Lost I my mangos, but I got a pipe to sing, – dum, dum, dum. Lost I my pipe, but I got a drum – dum, dum, dum."
Since the monkey liked the drum very much, it did not give it to anybody.

The man gave the knife to the monkey
and the monkey took the tail to the doctor
and they put it back on
and took out the thorn out.
To put on the tail,
they had to give the monkey a shot
so they gave him two suckers for being brave.
They even gave him a Djdj while he was in the hospital,
so he wouldn't be sad.
The man came to see the monkey in the hospital
and played tag with him and said I'm sorry.
They both left the hospital and went home into the forest.
