    One sunny day, the monkey found itself locked inside its cage with its favorite food. The sight of the watermelon and fried chicken brought a twinkle in its eyes.

    A group of children gathered around the cage, their eyes wide with curiosity and excitement as they watched the monkey.

    The monkey, thrilled with the attention, began its show. It danced around the cage, performing flips and tricks, munching on the watermelon and fried chicken in between.

    The officer, unaware of the monkey's performance, was alarmed to see it locked in the cage with food. He mistakenly assumed it to be the threat.

    The officer, having misunderstood the situation, prepared to tranquilize the monkey. The crowd gasped as he lifted his tranquilizer gun.
