Mimi Monkey and The Great Mountain
– Hi! Well, are you ready for a trip to The Great Mountain? – Mimi shouted, swinging on liana.
– Hi! Of course, let's go! – said Kiki, bouncing with impatience.
– Let’s go! – shouted Lily, eating a ripe mango.
So three monkeys went to The Great Mountain. While jumping from tree to tree, they were telling each other various stories, making jokes and laughing. They always had fun together.
When they came out of the forest, the friends jumped to the ground. They could already see the ancient volcano. Monkeys had been dreaming for a long time to get to this unusual royal mountain and look at it closer.
– Let’s come and see if Roar is already here – Lily said, pointing to a pile of boulders nearby. Normally that’s where their tiger cub friend Roar would rest after dinner. He would often play with the monkeys and travel with them to new places.
As they came closer, Roar immediately jumped out from behind the stones.
– Hello friends! – he greeted them with joy. – Where are you heading?
– To The Great Mountain. – Lily replied proudly.
– Dad said it was a dangerous mountain. – Mimi warned.
– But we will only take a peek, just a little peek. – Kiki said.
– I'm going with you! – Roar jumped with impatience. – I will also have a very quick glimpse and then go home!
– It will be more fun if we’re together! – said Mimi and the friends hit the road.
