High up in a tall, shady tree, a little monkey with bright, curious eyes was enjoying the view. Suddenly, a big, noisy truck rumbled down the road below! It was piled high—not with boring rocks or wood, but with the most amazing treasure: giant bunches of golden-yellow bananas!
The monkey's mouth watered. They looked plump and sweet, and he wished he could taste just one.
"Oh, please, please," the little monkey whispered, closing his eyes tight and crossing his fingers, "If just one big bunch could tumble off that truck, I'd be so super-duper grateful!"
Rattle, thump!
When he popped his eyes open, he couldn't believe it! Right beneath his tree, a huge, perfect bunch of bananas had bounced off the truck! It was like a little miracle just for him.
He zoomed down the tree trunk, grabbed the golden bunch, and hugged it tight. He took a sniff—they smelled like pure sunshine!
Now came the big question: Should he eat every single one by himself and have the biggest, yummiest tummy-ache ever? Or... should he share this amazing gift?
He looked at the huge bunch, then thought of his friends. A feast is always more fun when you have someone to giggle with!
"Sharing is best!" he chattered, and he let out a loud, joyful "OOO-OOO-AAA-AAA!" call, the special signal for, "Hey everyone, party time!"
Soon, his monkey friends came swinging and leaping through the branches. Their eyes got wide when they saw the enormous pile of bananas.
The kind monkey grinned and handed out the perfect, sweet fruit. Every single banana tasted extra-special because they were sharing. They munched, they laughed, they played games, and they all had a wonderful, happy party together.
All the other monkeys cheered for their friend. He was a great monkey—not just because he found the bananas, but because he was brave enough to share!
The lesson is: Found treasures are always sweeter when you share them with friends!
