He can be a little intense sometimes, but he's a decent guy. Oh, and don't worry - you'll get no monkey business from him. PAL: Forget monkey bars—this monkey knows a better way to get around! Working at the train station in his cute little uniform, he'll make sure you get where you're going. He might flip out sometimes, but he's a decent guy. And don't worry - you'll never catch him monkeying around on the job! | |
