Introduction

@"eadingisagoodwayofgettingknowledge.Itshou1dbeintroducedinearly 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. All kinds of fruit trees were growing

well. In other words, the jungle hadfertile solt.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 theirchance. Although they only ate the fruit left of the

trees by the monkeys, the birds were still able tosatisfy their appetites.

The monkeys were cunning and, just like tancestors beforethem, they were

also energeticand smnrt. Onthe other hand,

negative qualities which were the

most disadvantagous for other animals. At this moment, the birds suffired because of

them"

What made the birds suffer was that the monkeys did'i::r:'v 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 a short time, the monkeys were

gathering to discuss the case at the

bank of a river. There were many

opinions and suggestionscoming from the monkeys.

But the best one was Miss

Shortest's."I have agreatidea, my

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,

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 flaptheir wings.because they had lost their energy. To keep

plive, they went to a lake to drink.

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

'im not bite the roots of was an avocado

tree. This was on purpose so that the

birds could build nests and eat the

avocados.

How shocked the monkeyswere. 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

crashing do.wn.

"What happened to those trees,

friends?" asked 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 avoca-

dos. 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 fruittrees. The jungle will be
