Once upon a time, in a big green jungle, there lived a little monkey named Momo. Momo was very curious. “I want to be the best monkey!” he said. “I want to swing high and climb fast!”

One sunny day, Momo saw his friends. “Watch me!” he shouted. He climbed a tall tree. “Look at me!” he called again. But Momo slipped and tumbled into a soft bush. “Ouch!” he giggled. “That was fun!”

His friend, Tilly the toucan, flapped her colorful wings. “Momo, you are brave! Try again!”

Momo smiled. “I will! I will swing high!”

Momo climbed again. “One, two, three… swing!” He swung and swung. Higher and higher! “Whee!” he laughed. He felt the wind tickle his fur.

When he reached the top, all the animals cheered. “Hooray for Momo!” they sang. Momo felt happy and proud.

“Being brave means trying!” he said. Momo learned that it's okay to fall, as long as you get back up. And in the jungle, they all lived happily, playing together.
