During a stormy day, [[Cranky Kong]] is at [[Cranky's Cabin|his house]], admiring his latest work: a [[Donkey Kong]] statue. He begins to state the epitaph he will inscribe upon it, until the [[Crystal Coconut]] shows DK at [[Funky's Flights]], eating a lot of [[Banana]]s. Using a hologram, he instantly appears at the shack, just to scold him and tell him to go to the cabin, stating that he has a job just before disappearing. Donkey Kong is worried and talk to [[Funky Kong]], who is "indoors surfing", while [[Diddy Kong]] searches for something to play with, and finds a weird lamp. Funky explains that the lamp is a mystic oracle that can predict the future, but Donkey Kong thinks that future prediction is a joke. Funky says that he can translate the lamp's predictions, making Diddy interested. The ape starts to sing a song to the mystic oracle. Funky predicts that he will go surf that day with many waves, and that Diddy will be called the smartest monkey that ever lived. DK bursts out laughing, saying, "Now I know your lamp is broken!" Diddy then asks to Funky to see Donkey Kong's future. Funky says that DK will be lonely in the week. However, Donkey Kong still doesn't believe, explaining that he has a date with [[Candy Kong]] every night that week. The storm ends, and Funky goes surfing, exactly as the oracle predicted. DK thinks that it is just a coincidence. [[General Klump]] and [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] hear all the talk behind some barrels, and Klump contacts [[King K. Rool]] via a walkie-talkie, stating that a mystic oracle (believing it to be a person) is telling the Kongs the future. | During a stormy day, [[Cranky Kong]] is at [[Cranky's Cabin|his house]], admiring his latest work: a [[Donkey Kong]] statue.

Diddy and Donkey Kong go to the jungle, where [[Dixie Kong]] is sad, because her fishing rod is broken. Diddy instantly fixes it, and Dixie kisses him, saying that he is "the smartest monkey that ever lived" just before leaving.

Diddy instantly fixes it, and Dixie kisses him, saying that he is "the smartest monkey that ever lived" just before leaving. Diddy remembers that the mystic oracle predicted this, and is even more convinced that the lamp really predicts the future, though Donkey Kong still doesn't believe. He then states that he has to get to Cranky's, then turns around and notices the old ape's hologram behind him. His sudden appearance scares them, and they run off. Klump and Krusha emerge from the bushes, having witnessed everything. | ||
In Cranky's house, Cranky, still in hologram form, is accidentally hit by Donkey and Diddy as they run in, turning him back to normal. Diddy then notices the statue, and begins admiring it. DK says that it is "a chip off the old block". Cranky then explains that he has to think of an epitaph for the statue. Diddy then states that the epitaph might be part of the oracle's third prediction, and explains it to Cranky, but the old ape also thinks that it's a lie and kicks them out of his house. | In Cranky's house, Cranky, still in hologram form, is accidentally hit by Donkey and Diddy as they run in, turning him back to normal.
