Once upon a time in the big city, Curious George was visiting his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat, at a bustling construction site. George was fascinated by all the machines and workers, each doing their part to build a towering skyscraper.

As George watched, he noticed one worker doing something particularly interesting. With careful movements, the worker laid bricks, one on top of the other, spreading a smooth layer of mortar between them. George's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Ooh ooh ah ah!" he exclaimed, eager to try it himself.

The Man with the Yellow Hat chuckled and said, "Now, George, remember to be careful. It's important to watch and learn before trying something new." But George, being the curious little monkey he was, couldn't resist. The moment The Man with the Yellow Hat turned his back, George scurried over to the pile of bricks.

With a brick in hand, George tried to mimic the worker's actions. He plopped down a dollop of mortar, but oh no! It was too much, and it squished out the sides. George tried again, this time with less mortar, and to his delight, it was just right. He stacked another brick on top, and then another, feeling proud of his small wall.

Suddenly, the workers noticed George's creation. They gathered around, chuckling and admiring the monkey's handiwork. The foreman, impressed by George's enthusiasm and quick learning, decided to let George help with a little project—a small wall for the site's garden.

Under the careful guidance of the workers, George learned the proper way to lay bricks. By the end of the day, the garden had a beautiful new wall, all thanks to Curious George's willingness to watch, learn, and do.

The Man with the Yellow Hat smiled as he watched George, happy to see his little friend learning new things. "You see, George," he said, "Monkey see, monkey do can be quite fun when you take the time to learn how to do it right."

And with that, George let out a joyful "ah ah!" ready for his next adventure.

The end.
