A lonely monkey huddled in a little ball on a cold tree stump. Her arm was getting tired from holding a large leaf above her head to shelter her from the rain. She spied a small spot of blue sat in a far corner of the sky.

Her stomach rumbled as she stared longingly at a large banana tree across the icy cold river.

Hundreds of bright yellow bananas hung on the tree a she stared at them as if they were diamonds. The river’s not too deep, she thought as she considered wading across.
