"Who's ready for dessert?" asked Auntie Bickle.
"Oh I couldn't possibly," said Pepper Fernandez, the first of three very polite triplets Mogey had invited for dinner aboard his favorite aunt's houseboat.
"I'm far too full from that succulent meal," said Popper Fernandez, the second triplet.
"Perhaps just a cup of coffee?" said Bully the Frog, the third Fernandez triplet.
"WE ARE!" chorused Mogey and Smush hungrily.
"Please tell me dessert is what I think it is," Mogey added, looking hopefully to his Aunt.
"Of course, dearie," Auntie Bickle confirmed, reappearing with a steaming pan. "My world-famous monkey bread!"
Predictably, Mogey and all three Fernandez triplets immediately tucked in with gusto. Smush, however, hesitated.
"Not hungry, dearie?" Auntie Bickle inquired.
"Starved," Smush replied. "But I'm not so sure about monkey bread. Is it actually made from monkeys?"
"Oh ho ho ho," Mogey chortled, slapping his friend on the back. "Don't be silly, Smush. You've got it all wrong! The bits of real monkey are the very thing that make monkey bread so delectable."
