Josh and Mikey loved playing cricket. One sunny afternoon, they decided to play at the dam near their village. They gathered their friends and set up the wickets. Everyone was excited to play under the clear blue sky. Josh was the captain of one team, and Mikey was the captain of the other.

As the game was in full swing, a curious monkey appeared. The monkey sat on a nearby tree, watching the children play. Mikey hit the ball hard, and it went near the monkey. To everyone's surprise, the monkey picked up the ball and ran away with it!

Josh and Mikey decided to chase the monkey. They ran through the bushes and over the rocks. The monkey was quick, but the boys were determined. Finally, they found the monkey sitting on a branch, holding the ball. Mikey gently asked the monkey to return the ball, and the monkey dropped it.

With the ball back, the game continued happily. The monkey stayed and watched, clapping with excitement. Josh and Mikey decided to name the monkey 'Cricket'. From that day on, Cricket became their lucky mascot. The children learned that sometimes unexpected friends can make games even more fun.
