Sorry for the late comment. I'd like to get more involved in discussions on this forum, but don't always have time. Could you just remove that sentence "Monkey said he’d found the firework and brought it back with him."? I don't think it is essential to the story.
I had a quick double-check that "firework" wasn't a pure Britishism and as I find it in American English publications, I think I will leave it as it is. Similarly, after much thought I faintly prefer "found" to "swiped."
Feel free to put my name as "Richard." I would suggest maybe "children's stories" as a category.

I went ahead and made those changes. I also added your first name. I tried adding the copyright info and link to the original at the bottom of the page, but it messed up the post for some reason. I'll employ a little trail and error and have it added as soon as I can. It's under "weird tales" for now, but once we get a few more stories like this one I'll create a "children's stories" or even "fairy tales" category.

I see no problem with using "firework." It's an unfamiliar word to me, but is undeniably English.
Glad to see another story join the list!
