What Happened?

Chapter 6 what Happened? " Amazing! " Claudia said. I looked and saw I was human again. No monkey hair. Or ears. Or tail. " How did you do that?" Claudia asked. " I don't know, " I said. “ And how do you feel?" she asked. " I feel . . . hungry, " I said.

Claudia looked at me and giggled. “ What's so funny?" I asked. “ I need to eat. " " But first, Clyde, you need to put your clothes on. " Claudia giggled louder. I jumped behind her bed. I had forgotten I was in my sister's room wearing nothing but my underpants! I quickly dressed. " From now on I'm wearing shorts under my long pants, " I said. " In case I turn into a monkey again. "

" But why did it happen?" Claudia asked. “ Maybe it's because I like monkeys so much, " I said. I pulled my Golden Monkey from my pocket and smiled. “ You've always liked monkeys, Clyde, " Claudia said. “ But you've never turned into one before. " “ Oh, right, " I said. “ Although sometimes, " Claudia said, “ you act like one. " “ Ha! Very funny, Claudia! " I walked to her bookshelf. " Something must have happened in the last day or two that caused you to change into a monkey, " Claudia said. “ But what?" I held my Golden Monkey on top of a model rocket. I waved the rocket in the air.

" Stop that, Clyde! " Claudia yelled. “ But monkeys fly in rockets, " I said. " Not in my rockets! " Claudia grabbed the model from me and setit back on her bookshelf. I stuck the Golden Monkey back in my pocket. " We need to figure out why you turned into a monkey, Clyde, " Claudia said. “ So stop fooling around and think! " I sat next to my sister on her bed. I thought about monkeys. I thought about turning into a monkey. I thought about how much fun it was to be a monkey.

" Stop bouncing, Clyde! " Claudia said. " I'm not! " I said. But then I looked and saw that I was. “ Think, Clyde! " Claudia said. " But I'm hungry. " I headed toward the bedroom door. “ I need a banana! " “ Wait! " Claudia ran after me. “ That's it, Clyde! " “ What is?" I asked. " The banana from Dr. Wally's experiment! " Claudia said. “ The one you ate at the museum! Remember?"

I remembered. " But what does that have to do with me turning into a monkey?" I asked. " I don't know, " Claudia said. " But we're going to find out. " She pulled me downstairs. I grabbed a banana and ate it. We told Mom we'd be back before supper. Then we hopped on our bikes and rode quickly to the science museum.
