Once upon a time, there was a young
monkey, named Yoko. He was an active and playful monkey. He lived with his
parents and friends in a beautiful mountain. The mountain was covered with huge
old trees that grew tall into the sky. Some of the trees bore delicious fruits.
Every day, Yoko and the other monkeys would eat fruits from the trees heartily.
It was always cool up there in the mountain.
When it rained, the water that
flowed down the mountain filled the river with Water. Yoko then could see the
people from a nearby village come to the river to catch fish. They also bathed
and washed their clothes in the river. These people did not disturb the trees to
the animals that lived there. It made Yoko felt secure about his family and
friends.
One day, one of the monkeys, Tiro,
came screaming and jumping hurriedly from tree to tree. “Run!” he screamed.
“Run, everyone! A huge monster is coming this way. It is eating all the trees
with its large sharp teeth.”
All the monkeys, birds and other
creatures that lived in the forest ran for their lives. The sound the monster
made was very loud and frightening. They ran away as afar as they could. The
monkeys stayed where they were until everything was quiet again. When they
found their way back, they saw that all the trees were gone. Some people were
standing near the monster which was actually a bulldozer. These people were
different from the ones who went to the river to fish or bath.
Yoko and other monkeys felt very sad. They did
not have a home anymore. There was no food left for them. Eventually, they
decided to leave the mountain and find another forest to live in.
