- [Narrator] Mr. Monkey, monkey mechanic,
is busy cleaning out the banana peels from his hammock,
when all of a sudden--
(bell rings)
the garage bell rang.
That means Mr. Monkey has a visitor.
He can't wait to see who it is.
It's Mr. Skunk, the town garbage collector.
- Hi, Mr. Monkey, what's up?
- Not much, just picking up some old banana peels.
- Oh, I'll get that for ya.
It's my job, after all.
There you go.
- Thanks, Mr. Skunk.
Phew, that's some stinky garbage.
- Yeah that's uh, that's kinda why I'm here, actually.
I need your help.
- Hold on.
What do you need?
- As you know, I collect the garbage
from all the houses around town.
And well, I can't smell it, but I've been told
that the garbage smells bad,
and that it's bothering everyone.
- Really?
Um, who said?
- [All] We said!
- Oh, I see.
But that's not everyone, Mr. Skunk.
- We said.
- Okay, now that's everyone.
Let me take a look at your vehicle.
- [Narrator] Mr. Monkey checks the truck.
He checks the engine.
It looks perfect.
He checks the windows.
They open and shut just fine.
- (inhales deeply) Fresh air!
- [Narrator] Then he checks the back of the truck.
(Mr. Monkey sniffs and coughs)
- [Mr. Monkey] Oh.
- So what's wrong with my truck, Mr. Monkey?
- Everybody's right, it stinks.
It's really bad, Mr. Skunk.
- Oh, no.
Please help me, Mr. Monkey.
I don't know what to do!
- [Narrator] Mr. Monkey heads to his work bench.
Let's see, Mr. Skunk's garbage truck
picks up all of the garbage in town.
Everyone says that it's making the whole place smell bad.
(everyone coughing)
Hmm, if the problem is that the smell outside of the truck
is bothering everyone, then Mr. Monkey needs to figure out
how to keep the smell inside the truck.
Mr. Monkey remembers that when he was testing the truck,
the smell went away when the windows were shut.
Mr. Monkey has an idea,
but he's going to need some materials.
He needs one giant sheet of metal, one long hinge,
one doorknob, and four bolts.
Oh, and a special mask.
And of course, his trusty monkey wrench!
(triumphant music)
Before starting, Mr. Monkey puts on his special mask
so he won't smell the garbage.
First, Mr. Monkey secures the hinge, using one bolt,
two bolts,
three bolts,
and four bolts.
Next, Mr. Monkey puts the giant sheet of metal
over the truck's back opening.
Then he uses a hinge to connect the piece of metal
to the truck.
- Is it ready yet?
- [Narrator] Mr. Monkey has one more thing to do.
Now Mr. Monkey's work is done.
- Wow, Mr. Monkey, you made a door for my truck!
Um, what's it for?
- When it's shut, it keeps the garbage smell
inside the truck.
- Does it really work?
- You tell me, everyone.
Open.
(Mr. Monkey grunts disgustedly)
(everyone groans) - Ew, ew!
- Ahh, shut.
(everyone sighs in relief)
- Wow, thanks for your help, Mr. Monkey.
You solved my problem.
- [All] Everyone's problem!
(garbage truck's engine roars)
- Terrific!
I can't wait to get back to picking up the garbage.
See ya soon, Mr. Monkey!
- [Narrator] Another satisfied customer.
And with that, it's time for Mr. Monkey to get back
to collecting old banana peels.
Ahh, that's better.
