Henry's Home Question

One morning, a monkey named Henry woke up and asked himself, "What is a home?" He thought about it for a few minutes, but nothing came up in his head, so he went to his monkey father, named George. Henry asked, "What is a home?" "It is four walls and a roof," said George. Henry said, "Ok," and went off to find some bananas. As he swung through the trees, he ran into his monkey sister, named Hazel. Henry thought that since Hazel was older than him, she might say something different. So Henry asked, "What is a home?" Hazel said, "A home is furniture and bedrooms." Henry said, "Ok," but then Hazel added, "Can you go to the lemonade stand and get me some lemonade?" Henry said, "Ok," and went off to find a lemonade stand. He got the lemonade and gave it to his sister, but then he saw his teacher. Henry decided to ask his teacher, "What is a home?" His teacher smiled at Henry and said, "A home is where your loved ones are." Henry smiled, realizing he knew the answer all along. The end.
