We had an old stove in the living room which my mom never used. My sister and I would stuff it with paper. Sometimes the paper would disappear. Well, I then thought that there must be an invisible monkey living in the stove that ate paper. So we kept feeding the invisible monkey. Later I came to find out that it was my father who cleaned the stove and took the paper out. So much for the monkey!
