                         Only a month old, a small monkey tried to reach a clump of bananas on a short tree. At first the poor girl hopped under it but the bananas stayed out of her reach. She then paused to watch other lucky monkeys her age on the backs of their mothers. The skillful mothers would climb up the trunk of a tree, pick a banana, and pop it into her baby's open mouth. The sad monkey, who had forgotten the bananas dangling above her head, wondered suddenly where  her  mother was.
