NAME:
The monkey Ivo would love to be able to float through the air like a feather or a snowflake. – Huuuuum… – He mutters, scratching his chin. – What could I use to make myself use to float?
Watching his lab, he spots a box of dishwashing detergent and an idea keeps poking at his mind.
– Soap bubbles float in the air. Could I use them to get afloat? – he asks himself. He quickly mixes the detergent powder and bubbles begin to grow. Soon he has a canister full of big bubbles. He starts catching bubbles in the air and trying to tuck them under his arms so he can float. They pop and run down the sides.
