In a bright, sunny jungle, there lived a happy little monkey who loved bananas! One day, he spotted a big, yellow banana hanging from a tree. "Oh, what a treat!" he squeaked with glee.
He climbed and climbed, swinging from branch to branch, just like the colorful animals around him.
As he reached the banana, he thought of sharing it with his friends. "Bananas are best when shared!" he chirped. So, he invited the parrot, the elephant, and the turtle to join him.
Together, they enjoyed the sweet, yummy banana, laughing and playing under the warm sun. What a fun day! 🍌
