Long ago, in a small village in Japan, there lived a travelling-monkey man who earned his living by making rounds in the neighborhood and showing off tricks he had taught his monkey. One day, when men came home after making rounds with the monkey the whole day, he yelled to his wife to call for a butcher and tell him to come the next morning. He was furious. ‘What happen? Why the butcher?” asked his wife and the man replied “This pathetic monkey has grown too old. I beat him with my sticks but he still wouldn’t dance nor would he do any tricks at all.” The wife felt sorry for the animal and she asked, “Are you sure about it? Please, think about it first”. “Now I can’t use it anymore, so, I must sell it to the butcher to get every little penny I can”. The man was determined and nothing would changed his mind. The monkey who was in the next room overheard all that the man had said and he was said. “What a cruel master I have! I have served him for life and he wants to he won’t let me spend my day in peace.” The monkey sob because he was sad and scared of what he would have to face the next day. When does the story take place?
