Summary: It's famous actor Frederick Lipton's birthday. As Frederick is showered with presents
from his friends and fans from around the world, his maudlin monkey pal, Mr. Pip, is down in the
dumps and withholds his own present. Frederick drops Mr. Pip off with the guild of geniuses so they
can figure out what's gotten the monkey down. Frederick returns and Mr. Pip's mood picks up once
they're reunited and make time to spend time with one another.
Straight Talk for Librarians: The trappings of fame and fortune are not what makes Mr. Pip
happy, but rather spending time with his friend. It doesn't take a league of geniuses to figure out the
obvious, but rather, all it takes is Fred making time for his friend. No amount of money, trips, or
parades can take the place of friends who make time for one another.
