Excerpt:
Tommy looked around and couldn't see any humans anywhere, so he hopped down out of the tree and climbed up on the bicycle seat.  Why he would just practice at being a human by riding a bicycle.  Tommy was turning around on the seat, showing off, and almost fell off the bicycle.  Well maybe he need a little more practice.  Next Tommy jumped on the table and pretended to sit and eat like the humans did.  Then he ran around the camp, picking up dead leaves and putting them into a pile as trash.
