Mimi Monkey and The Great Mountain
– Have you had lunch, Roar?” – Kiki asked the tiger jokingly .
– Don’t worry, Kiki, little monkeys aren’t tasty. – Roar answered cheerfully and the friends laughed.
They didn’t realise the time whilst chatting when they finally found themselves on the volcano. The volcano top seemed to be very close.
– Look!– said Lily – some red splashes are visible on the top of the mountain!
– Let’s come closer! – shouted Roar. All of them wanted to see that miracle so much! Mimi remembered that her Dad had warned her, but she still went with very close to the crater with her friends.
– Look at this beautiful red water inside! – pointed Kiki.
The monkeys and the tiger stood bewitched. They had never seen anything like that before.
Suddenly the dangerous hot lava, which the friends had called “red water”, erupted beside them. They felt the heat coming from it.
– Run! – Mimi cried anxiously. – Dad said it was very dangerous!
Everyone started running. Lily and Kiki were running without looking back, frightened by the fiery water. Just before reaching the forest, they stopped, looked around and realized that Mimi and Roar weren’t there.
– Where are they? – Kiki asked anxiously.
– Maybe something has happened to them. – Lily answered.
– We have to come back – said Kiki.
– But … red water …is there – Lily muttered bewilderedly.
– Lily, our friends need help! – replied her brother.
