Little Monkey

Morris the little monkey woke up when the sun was high up in the sky. Another lovely day. Perfect for playing hide and sneak. Off he went to find his friends.

First, he came across Henry the hippopotamus.

"Let's play hide and sneak!" he called out from the top of a tree.

"Not today Morris," boomed Henry. "There's only three more days till the big fishing competition. I've got to clean my boat and check for leaks. You should be doing the same, don't you think?"

"Nah, I'll do it tomorrow."

Just then, who should come along but Lucas the lion.

"There's no way you'd get me anywhere near the water, even in a boat," he shivered. "Come on Morris, I'll play."

So they played hide and sneak until the sun went down.

The next day was sunny again, perfect for racing games. Morris came across Rose the rhino first. "Let's race Rose," he chattered excitedly.

"Not today thanks, Morris. It's only two more days until the big fishing competition. I have to fix my motor and get my gear together. I don't want to forget anything! Shouldn't you be getting ready?"
