This is a true story. In Mexico, there is this custom. They take a monkey and crack it's head open. They then eat it right there, raw, with a spoon.
I don't know if this is what you needed, but it's the best i've got!

In Truth and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code, Bart D. Ehrman writes:
The ability of film directors and book authors to affect public sentiment and to shift public thinking is neither a good thing nor a bad one; it is simply the reality of the times. But when the images they create for their viewers or readers are erroneous — well, it means people misunderstand history as it really is and substitute fiction for facts. Maybe there is no real harm in that. But for those of us who spend our lives studying history, it can grate a bit on the nerves. Movies and books with historical connections are quite common — they may be sold as fiction, but setting the stories in some sort of genuine, historical context can make the events seem more real and this may draw readers into the tale more readily. There's certainly nothing wrong with setting a fiction within history or fictionalizing historical events and quite a lot that can be right about it, especially if you are up-front about what you are doing.
The closer these fictions come to actual people and events, though, the more the line between fiction and fact can be blurred — even with warnings and disclaimers. There's only so much authors and directors can do; in the end, perhaps people are just lazy and don't do enough to separate fact from fiction in their own minds.
Ideally, fictionalized events set in a historical context would inspire people to learn more about the actual history. Unfortunately, so many people seem to disdain reality in favor of fiction. Stories about the past don't have enough drama when they stick to facts. Explanations about science and universe aren't exciting without the suggestion of paranormal aspects.
This book is Fiction.
If did not help you sorry and good luck :)

once upon a time there was this was this skeleton and he'd walk around the house all day, because he was afraid to go outside. finally he went outside, and he enjoyed it so much that he ran out into the street and walked farther and farther away from his home. he was really scared because he had no idea where he was. so he walked up to a complete stranger, who told him that he had a map in his pocket. when the skeleton bent down to read it, he let a loud and smelly fart in his face. the skeleton had never smelled something like that, so he didn't know to do or say. he ran and ran, until he found a bush to hide behind. when he felt safe he cried and cried, until a ghost appeared and ate the skeleton in 2 huge gulps., While the ghost was doing this, he accidentally dropped some of his magic potion, which the wind blew on a passerby, which made the passerby sick. the woman had a neverending yeast infection and she was terribly sad. The End
Fact or Fiction

god exist only because humans have faith....there is zero evidence that he exists...its just a pack of lies to keep the masses at least somewhat responsible and somewhat moral.....its a con game....look for verifiable evidence, peer review, reproducible results...this is science.....the rest is just faith--but it is not science!!
