Once upon a time, in a lively jungle, there was a little monkey who loved bananas more than anything else in the world. She spotted a ripe, yellow banana hanging from a tree and her eyes lit up with joy.

Just as she was about to reach for the banana, a slithering snake appeared. The snake hissed, causing the monkey to stop in her tracks. The snake was guarding the banana tree and refused to let the monkey have her snack.

Desperate and hungry, the monkey decided to seek the help of the lion, the king of the jungle. She went to the lion's den and explained her predicament. The lion listened to her plight with a thoughtful expression.

'Please, your majesty,' the monkey pleaded, 'I am very hungry, and the snake will not let me eat the banana.' The lion, moved by the monkey's plea, agreed to help her.

Upon returning to the banana tree with the lion, the snake instantly tensed up. The lion roared at the snake, warning him to let the monkey have her banana. The snake, fearful of the lion's wrath, slithered away.

With the snake gone, the monkey quickly climbed the tree and happily grabbed her prized banana. She thanked the lion for his help, with a heart full of gratitude.

The lion, feeling satisfied after helping the monkey, returned to his den. He was happy to have been able to help a fellow creature of the jungle.

From that day forward, the monkey never had to worry about the snake. She could enjoy her bananas in peace, thanks to the help of the kind lion.

The monkey learned a valuable lesson that day, that strength comes in many forms, and sometimes, asking for help is the bravest thing one can do.

The snake too, learned a lesson. He realized that hoarding and being selfish only led to trouble. From then on, he decided to share the resources of the jungle with others.

The lion, already known for his strength, became known for his wisdom and kindness too. He taught everyone in the jungle the importance of sharing and caring for each other.

And so, life in the jungle went on, with each day bringing new lessons and adventures. The monkey, the snake, and the lion each played their part in making the jungle a better place.
