Plot summary
The story is about Sly, a chimp who loves to shape clay on a potter's wheel and has an implant which makes him much smarter than other chimps. When a group of school kids make Sly act out in anger, the sympathetic human Vern is asked to take away Sly's clay.
The original title was "Hairy Potter and the Evil Robot Monkey", which she was requested to change by the editor, as the idea was to create a real story for the joke title.[2]
