Deep in the jungle, little Minea swung from a branch, enjoying the fresh morning air. Suddenly—
“AAAHHHH! OH NOOOO! THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER!”
Minea froze mid-swing. What in the world?
She quickly climbed down and saw Yuri, the most dramatic monkey in the jungle, rolling on the ground, waving his arms in the air. His little face was scrunched up, and he let out another loud wail.
Minea tilted her head. “Yuri, what’s wrong?”
Yuri gasped, sat up, and pointed to his foot. “LOOK!”
Minea squinted. “…I don’t see anything.”
Yuri groaned. “EXACTLY! My banana is GONE! I dropped it, and now it’s gone forever!”
Minea blinked. “Wait… that’s why you’re screaming?”
Yuri threw himself back on the ground dramatically. “YES! I was about to eat it, and poof! It disappeared! I am STARVING! I will never eat again!”
Minea giggled. “Oh, Yuri, you’re so silly.”
Just then, a small giggle came from behind a bush. They peeked over and saw Lala, another baby monkey, happily munching on… Yuri’s banana!
Yuri gasped. “MY BANANA!”
Lala grinned. “It rolled over to me! Finders keepers!”
Minea laughed as Yuri dramatically collapsed again. “This is a tragedy!” he moaned.
But Lala giggled and handed him half. “Here, don’t be so dramatic!”
Yuri sat up instantly, took a big bite, and sighed happily. “Mmm… okay, I forgive the jungle.”
Minea just shook her head, smiling. Yuri will always be Yuri.
And with that, the three little monkeys laughed, played, and shared their bananas, making it another fun, silly day in the jungle.
