The Slippery Banana

Two men went to camp in the forest. They had a lot of bananas with them for lunch. A monkey saw the bananas, they looked very ripe and tasty. Then the men eat the banana and took a nap after that.

As soon as they fell asleep, the monkey jumped down from the tree and eat as many bananas as it could. It was not satisfied still, and took as many bananas as it could carry with both hands. When the monkey was climbing back up the tree, a banana slipped out of its hands and fell down. The greedy monkey did not want to leave a single banana behind and went back down to get it.

The men heard the noise and woke up, they saw the monkey trying to steal the bananas. They quickly chased the monkey away, and it had to drop all the banana it was carrying, in order to escape. 

The monkey lost all the bananas it was carrying because it wanted the slippery banana which had fallen down. So the monkey learned the lesson that it should not be greedy.

Morale of the story: Never be greedy 🐵
