In a dense jungle, there lived a clever monkey. He loved bananas. There was a tall banana tree in a corner of the jungle, but the tree was so high that the monkey couldn't reach the bananas no matter how hard he tried.

One day, the monkey found a sizeable stone. He thought, 'If I throw this stone at the tree, maybe a banana will fall down.' He threw the stone at the tree, but it bounced back and hit his foot. The monkey started crying.

Then, the monkey had another idea. He looked at the nearby pond where some fishes were swimming. He tried to catch a fish and throw it at the tree. The fish fell down and died, but no banana fell.

The monkey was very disappointed. He then had another idea. He stole some honey from a nearby beehive and placed it under the tree. After a while, some bees came to the tree to get the honey.

The monkey watched carefully. The arrival of the bees made the tree sway a little, and a big banana fell down.

The monkey was overjoyed. He picked up the banana and quickly ate it.

From that day onwards, the monkey always used his cleverness to get what he wanted. He learned that sometimes, the answer to a problem might not be straightforward, but with a little thinking, it can be solved.
