Stumped by a crossword? Discover the answer to ‘hook and claws’!

Once upon a time, there was a mischievous monkey named Max. Max was always getting into trouble, climbing trees, and playing practical jokes on the other animals in the forest.

One day, Max discovered a shiny, silver object hanging from a tree branch. He had never seen anything like it before. Curious, he reached out to grab it, but the object had a hook and was stuck fast. It wouldn’t budge!

Max tried using his paw to dislodge the object, but it was too heavy. Suddenly, he had an idea. He remembered seeing a similar object in the home of his human friends. It was called a coathanger, and it was used for hanging up clothes.

With a quick scamper back to his human friend’s house, Max was able to fetch a coathanger. He bent the hook into a long stick and used the two claws at the bottom to prise the shiny object free. It turned out to be an old tin can, but Max was still thrilled with his new discovery.

From that day on, Max was known as the clever monkey who had figured out a way to use a coathanger as a tool. And whenever someone in the forest needed help getting something unstuck, they would call out for Max and his trusty coathanger.
