Chapter 7 Dr. Wally We raced up the steps and into the science museum. There was lots to see. Lots to do. “ Calm down! " Claudia grabbed my arm. " I can't, " I said. " We're here to talk to Dr. Wally, " Claudia said to me. “ Rats! " I said.

We walked to a back room. Dr. Wally was standing near a bowl of fruit. “ Welcome, children, " he said when he saw us. “ What can I do for you?" " We were hoping you could help us, " Claudia said. " I'll try, " Dr. Wally said. “ But first, maybe you could help me find a banana. " " A banana?" I asked. Dr. Wally pointed to the bowl of fruit. “ It was here this morning. " " So were we. " Claudia pushed me closer to Dr. Wally. “ Tell him, Clyde! "

" I ate your banana, " I said. “ Oh?" Dr. Wally looked at me closely. “ And you're okay?" " Yes, " I said. “ Except that I've turned into a monkey twice since I ate the banana. " " Hmm. Interesting! " Dr. Wally said. " So why did it happen?" Claudia asked. Dr. Wally thought for a moment. " The banana was part of my experiment, " he said. “ It changed when I blasted it with the gamma ray. And Clyde's body changed when he ate the banana. "

Dr. Wally looked at me again. “ Clyde's inner monkey must now be able to grow big enough to become an outer monkey. " “ What does that mean?" Claudia asked. “ When Clyde gets super excited, " Dr. Wally said, " he will now not only act like a monkey, he will become one. " “ Really?" Claudia looked worried. Dr. Wally nodded.

" Isn't there a cure?" my sister asked. “ No. I mean . . . not yet, " Dr. Wally said. “ I'll try to find one. But it might take a while. " " Don't hurry, " I said. " Thanks for your help, Dr. Wally, " Claudia said. Then she led me from the museum. “ You turning into a monkey, Clyde, sounds like trouble. " " Me turning into a monkey, " I said, “ sounds like fun. " I hopped on my bike and followed my twin sister home for supper.
