The monkey who broke a bed!

Many have heard the song " 3 little monkeys jumping on a bed. One fell down and broke his head. Mama called the doctor and the doctor said," No more monkeys jumping on the bed".
"2 little monkeys jumping on the bed one fell down and broke his head. Mama called the doctor and the doctor said," No more monkeys jumping on the bed". and so forth until all the monkeys are with broken heads. Right? Well what happened to the bed? It never made it into the song/story until today.

It was a beautiful day in the land of changitolandia when one of the famous jumping monkeys decided that using his usual furniture for his adventures was to boring. That day he had all of his cousin monkeys over and there was plenty of things to do, when all of the sudden the greatest idea had popped into this changitos head. " Lets jump on the bed". First one changito seemed to jump high but he got lonely so he called one of the other cousin changitos over a little bigger and taller but that would get Jumping Changito to go even higher. Jumping as high as he could and his cousin right by his side, noticed that there was room for one more changito to jump. So another changito came to the bed. Now Jumping Changito knew that beds weren't for jumping, cause mama changito would always say NO JUMPING ON THE BED. But she never said this bed so it was okay! One by one the time had come and all of the cousin changitos had to go home. With so much excitement Jumping Changito didn't even see his family leave. So he kept on jumping or so he thought when CRASH! SPLAT! THUD! the jumping changito had broken the bed. OH NO What should I say what should I do said Jumping changito. Ah I know mama will never know if i make the bed. So jumping changito made the bed hoping that mama wouldn't find out.
That night mama was getting the smallest of all the changitos ready for bed. She put on little changito her pijama, and started to tuck her in bed. Leaned over to give her a big hug and kiss and went KERPLOP and Landed where a mattress once was inside the frame of the bed! At first mama thought wow! what a cheap bed they should make them stronger. But sister changito was there and told mama changito how Jumping Changito broke the bed!
JUMPING CHANGITO COME HERE RIGHT NOW! Jumping Changito walked down the stairs so slow it took forever. Wow i guess mama meant that bed too he said to himself. Getting closer and closer to his mama. Jumping Changito what is this mama said, why did you jump on the bed. Well what's left of a bed, and where is little Changito suppose to sleep? Um that was a good question? Jumping Changito thought. On the floor he replied, No said mama she isn't going to sleep on the floor. That night little changito sleeped with mama and Jumping Changito thought he was off the hook.
Until the next day when mama came into his room and asked him to pull out his money jar! Now this money jar that Jumping changito had was a very special jar indeed. Jumping changito mama said, because you had so much fun jumping on little changitos bed and braking it, i am going to give you the chance to make things right. Mama took Jumping Changito to the wood store that day and bought the right size of wood for the bed, and went to pay. Mama Jumping Changito said, why did i have to bring money from my money jar? Oh because it is only right that if you brake what isn't yours that you make it right. Mama said. Oh ?Jumping Changito said still a little confused why his mama just didn't pay.
That day Jumping Changito learned that when Mama says no jumping on the bed it's not always as the song goes, but as what mama always says NO JUMPING ON THE BEDS! ANY OF THEM or you'll have to pay for them to get fixed.
The End.
