The Story of Dago

A mischievous young monkey named Dago finds himself confined in an attic, slipping through a window and sneaking into a quiet parlour where he chats with a silent mirror‑monkey. From his perch among fragile ornaments he recalls the feeling of freedom, the tug of rope that once rang a bell, and the yearning for his native jungle, where vines and bright skies were his playground.

Dago’s tale unfolds as he recounts being plucked from his forest home, sold to a travelling show, and forced into a bewildering world of costumes, pony rides, and odd duties that clash with his natural instincts. The harsh ring‑master’s whip and the endless demands of performance leave him both terrified and curious, shaping a spirited voice that seeks solace in memories and in the quiet company of his reflective companion. The story weaves humor, nostalgia, and a glimpse of animal resilience, inviting listeners into the early chapters of Dago’s adventurous life.
