Little banana hopped out of a tree. Banana was the cutest of all the baby monkeys. He had just been chased by a giant cheater. His heart was pounding like a butterfly stuck in a jar. He quickly hurried to his little tree house and leaped into his bed. He hid under the covers. After a few minutes he slowly came out. Banana looked out of his stone window but the cheater was still there circling his little tree hut. Banana quickly jumped back into his bed. Once again he slowly peeped out of the covers and tip-toed to the window. He heard the faint sound of the cheaters’ growl in the distance. He tried to call for help but no one was around. He tried to climb out the window but the cheater waited at the bottom. Then banana sighed and slumped back onto his bed. But suddenly something popped into his mind. Something mind popping. He would throw stones at the cheater so that it would get distracted and give up. So he reached into his special rock collection and pulled out two of his sharpest rocks, and with all his might, he threw them at the cheater. The cheater gave up. Bananas’ heart was filled with happiness. So he skipped off to tell everyone.
