The Jungle of the Mammalian Monkey

Gonzo had stepped through several separate trails. Following the recurring cry, he was approaching monkey territory.

Being an adventurer, Gonzo wasn't surprised to spot a monkey around. He was more interested in the cry for help; a very foreign thing to him. As he walked further, a twig underfoot cracked.

Many monkeys started screaming, and before knowing it, a monkey had fallen, hung upside.

The hanging monkey was wearing rough human clothes and was face to upside down face to Gonzo. Gonzo was expecting a normal monkey scream, but he heard differently:

"HELP ME!" Gonzo was profoundly disturbed, and very agitated.

"ITS GONNA KILL ME!" thought Gonzo as he took a mighty swing towards the hanging, clothed monkey.

The clothed monkey vanished. Gonzo looked up to see the clothed monkey being dragged off with other monkeys. Gonzo moved on, yelling:
"You're trying to muddle my mind, and it's NOT working,"

After 30 minutes of exploring the now cry-free jungle, Gonzo felt somewhat satisfied and was about to leave. Just then the clothed monkey dropped down, and with an arm reaching Gonzo, said:

"You gotta save me from them, they think I'm a--" a sudden normal monkey shout was heard from above. Gonzo opened his mouth to speak, but someone flung monkey-dung in it. After trying to semi-spit, semi-vomit, he rinsed his mouth with his bottled water.

"That's it, now I'm angry!" yelled Gonzo. The monkey yelled louder. The clothed monkey, however, was trying all the while to say something softly.

"Um, now listen erm--", or "Please, just listen--", and even "Lets all just calm down now and--"

Between the monkeys and Gonzo, all hell had broke loose. Dungs were seen flying everywhere and stones were being thrown by Gonzo. Then the clothed monkey threw a coconut at both parties. Suddenly everyone silenced. The wild monkeys had left.

"My name is Jumanji, I was once human." said the clothed monkey. Gonzo, stunned, just stood there, muttering something to himself ('I am not nuts, I am not nuts,' and also: 'the monkey has coconuts, the monkey has coconuts'...)

HOW WILL GONZO REACT TO THE TALKING MONKEY?
