COLLECTIVE NOUNS: The army of soldiers, the troupe
monkeys, the school of fish, and the fleet of ships
One day, a troupe of monkeys are swinging on the trees.
Then, the chief of the troupe said, “Let’s stop here. I feel
tired.” They stopped at the big tree, but the army of
soldiers came and they killed the monkeys. Afterwards,
the colony of ants arrived bit the soldiers. The soldiers
shouted in pain and fled the place, going to the shore
and hurrying away to their fleet of ships. On the way,
they realized the ants also ate all their food, so they
decided to catch a school of fish to fill up their supply till
they get home. When they reached their destination,
they found that their home was inhabited by what they
left to die a few days before: troupes and troupes of
monkeys.
