He lived in a jungle.

And one day, he slept til the sun was high in the sky. His shadow was very small.
And in that jungle, there was a lion.

He was very afraid of the lion.
He climbed down from the tree, drank some water. Then he climbed up again, ate a banana and bushed his teeth.

The monkey loved to sleep.
And one day, he slept til the sun was high in the sky. His shadow was very small.
He climbed down from the tree, drank some water. Then he climbed up again, ate a banana and bushed his teeth.
When he was done, the sun was down
and his shadow was very big.
Audio icon
Because his shadow was big, the monkey thought he was very big too.
