Long ago, a man called Carlito Lopez flew into the USA with a monkey under his hat.
Mr Lopez and his monkey started their journey in Lima, Peru. He seemed like a normal passenger - though he was wearing a very large woollen hat on a hot day. Neither the crew nor the other passengers knew there was a monkey on board the aircraft..
When the plane was safely in the air, the YOU MAY UNFASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS sign came on. Everyone relaxed. The cabin staff walked up and down the aisle
Mr Lopez took out a bag of nuts. His monkey climbed out from under the hat.
