Introduction @"eadingisagoodwayofgettingknowledge.Itshou1dbeintroducedin early childhood, hence it becomes a habit in people's lifestyle. To encourage children to love reading, we provide interesting stories in a fable series. We believe that animal kingdom stories have their own attractiveness to amuse children with fantastic stories.

Thus, children are also encouraged to build their own fantasies, to open their mind to knowledge and different views,. and to have in their soul good moral values that are always enriching every story.

The jungle of Kalinga was a prosperozs one. well. In other words, the jungle hadfertile solt.

All kinds of fruit trees

were growing

For two months the fruit trees provided fruits such as avocados, jack fruits, oranges, apples, bananas, mangoes, papayas, etc. The happiest animals during the harvest season were the monkeys and the birds.

The monkeys would know which fruits were ripe beforc the birds did. Every morning, the monkeys went to the fruit trees to eat. They ate until they were

satisfied. Patiently, the birds waited for their chance. Although they only ate the fruit left of the trees by the monkeys, the birds were still able to satisfy their appetites.

The monkeys were cunning and, just like t ancestors before them, they were also energetic and smnrt. On the other hand, they were

greedy

sloppily. It was these negative qualities which were the

most disadvantagous for other animals. At this moment, the birds suffired because of them" 'i::r: 'v

What made the birds suffer was that the monkeys did notwantthebirds to eatthe fruitinthe jungle.

"The birds should not be allowed to eat the fruit," said Mr. Fattest one day.

"Right, my friend. Your opinion is perfectly right. We are the owners of the fruit in this area," agreed Mr. Oldest.

"We have to find a way so r.f thatthey are not able to pick *'.$ u,, :i:r,.s-r r l\rf-o ^,,- f-,,i+ fruit,"tt -,,^^o.*o.{ suggested Mrs. our i,rsl -r Blackest. f In a short time, the monkeys were gathering to discuss the case at the bank of a river. There were many opinions and suggestions coming from the monkeys.

But the best one was Miss Shortest's.

"I have agreatidea, my dear friends. Follow me"

Miss Shortest climbed up an apple tree. Her friends followed her. She picked an apple and ate it. Her friends copied what she did. Having been satisfied, Miss Shortest took some apples andthrew them at the other monkeys. Again, her friends copied what she did.

It was very crowded in the apple tree. The monkeys continued throwing apples at each other. Mr. Fattest was swaying to avoid Mrs. Blackest's throw. Realizing that her

throw missed, Mrs. Blackest threw some apples at Miss Shortest. Miss Shortest was painfully grinning. This scene made Mr. Oldest laugh. Suddenly, an apple struck his nose. He shouted. His nose was injured.

The next day, the monkeys did the same thing. They picked fruits such as mangoes, urians, etc. avmg been satisfied, they trampled the fruit on the ground.

Seeing lots of fruit in such a mess, the birds were shocked. They saw no fruit left on the trees.

They became weak because of the lack of food.

Some of them could not sing anymore. Their throats ere getting drier and drier. The rest were not able to flap

their wings.because they had lost their energy. To keep plive, they went to a lake to drink.

That was the only thing the

animalsin thejungle took pity on he bird's suffering.

Their feelings were hurt because of the monkey's bad deed. Mr. Tiger wanted to go around the jungle and beat up the monkeys. Mrs. Snake, however, prevented him from going. She disliked and hated violence. The quiet Mr. Fat Rat suddenly got up. He stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea. Follow me" The animals did not know what Mr. Fat Rat wanted to do. They just followed him.

Arriving at an apple tree, Mr. Fat Rat started to dig a hole. Tens of his friends did the same thing. Then, they bit the roots of the tree.

The next day, Mr. Fat Rat and his friends looked for other fruit trees. They dug holes , and bit the roots. The only tree they did not bite the roots of was an avocado 'im tree. This was on purpose so that the birds could build nests and eat the avocados.

How shocked the monkeys were. They saw many holes and most of the fruit trees were dying. .Their green leaves turned to " yellow. The leaves were even falling from the trees. The branches

were getting drier and drier.

Gradually, the fruit trees came .,

"What happened to those trees, friends?" asked Mr. Fattest.

"I don't know. It's so strange," answered Mrs. Blackest.

"My goodness! We do not have any place to take a rest, do we?" murmured Miss Shortest worriedlY.

"Hey, look! I know

n

the point. There are rnuny holes around *here. The roots were

broken off. It must be the i'ats' deed!" accused Mr. Oldest.

"Right! The bad rats

have tricked us comPletelY. No animals could do such a foolish thing, except the damn

rats," shouted Miss Shortest ,.,.449n1y.

"Let's find them. Kill them all!" urged Mr. Fattest.

They went in a group looking for the rats. Wildly they shouted on their way. Their cruelty appeared. The monkeys seemed to agree with violence. They said that the rats were bad while they themselves were cruel. Indeed, the monkeys were unwise creatures.

Hi, look, friends! Don'tyou see something delicious? There are lots of ripe avocados. Let's pick them,," shouted Mrs. Blackest.

All of the monkeys ran towards the avocado tree. This time they showed their greediness.

"Dear monkeys, why do you run in such ahurry?" mockedMr. FatRat. "We are looking for you, bad Fat Rat. You and your friends have brought down the fruit trees. The jungle will be

arid. Don't you rcalize what you

have

done?" said Mr. Fattest

m anger.

, "I know. I have been waiting for long time.

What you did was you for

mllch worse, Fattest monkey. You and your friends ruined all the fruit so that there was none left for anyone else. Because of your malice, the birds were starving" Don't you \1

reahze wtrat you did?" retorted Mr. Fat Rat"

Both sides were blaming each other.

The monkeys grinned with their poin,tyteeth. T'he rats were frightened. They .,f stepped back. "iStay where you are, i",.."'"**.. Crugl

ffif,

monkeys!

Or, I will

killyou all!" roaredMr. Stripped Tiger.

"Who dares to touch the rats'skins will be iniured by our stings," snapped the bees.

"If you scare

the rats, I

will trample you, evil monkeys!" shouted Mr. Big Elephant.

Most inhabitants protected the rats.

The monkeys were very afraid. The: stepped back. No one dared to approach the rats.

The birds perching on the avocadol free saw what happened. They took

pity on the monkeys. They picked some avocados for the starving monkeys. The monkeys were grateful for the birds' generousity. At last, both sides made peace. From that tim.g on, the inhabitants liv peacefully.
