It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning in the city of Cheeky Monkey HD.Com.  The mayor of the city, also called Cheeky Monkey HD.Com (it could get a bit confusing), was having a swim in the luxurious outdoor pool attached to the Mayor’s Mansion.  The mayor liked to keep fit, as he had to work long days in the office.  He also liked to look good for his beautiful girlfriend, Jennifer.

The telephone rang.  There was a special outdoor Mayor’s telephone located on one of the picnic tables next to the pool.  It was important that Mayor Cheeky Monkey HD.Com could be contacted at any time.  He jumped from the pool like a graceful salmon, and scooped up the telephone receiver in a single, magnificent manoeuvre.

“Hello,” said the Mayor. “It’s Mayor Cheeky Monkey HD.Com speaking.  Who is this?”

“It’s me, Jose,” said Jose, the deputy mayor. “Your deputy mayor.”

“Hi Jose,” replied the Mayor.  “How are you today? Have you played any Minecraft?”

“There’s no time for that,” snapped Jose. “We need you over at City Hall immediately. It’s an emergency.”

The Mayor put down the phone and frowned.  If Jose didn’t have time to play Minecraft – or even talk about it – then it must be serious.  He didn’t bother to get dressed; there wasn’t time. He simply put his coat on over his swimming trunks and ran to City Hall.
