The Monkey and His Tail

The Monkey and His Tail A litle monkey lived in the jungle. He loved to swing from tree to tree using his hands and feet. His mother said, " You must also use your tail to swing from the trees. Your tail is very important. " The little monkey was lazy. He did not like using his tail. It was easier to use just his hands and feet. One day, the little monkey was sitting in a tree. Suddenly, he heard a roar. He looked down and saw a tiger looking up at him, wanting to eat him. The little monkey was very frightened. Quickly, he climbed higher up the tree. The tiger tried to climb the tree too. As it got closer, the little monkey saw the tiger's big teeth.

The little monkey knew what he had to do. He made a big jump. His tail caught a high branch. Lucky for him, he was safe. From then on, the little monkey used his tail to help him climb trees far away from the tigers, lions and bears.
