Monkey hangs from a branch in a big tree. His tree hut is his lookout.
Monkey looks for his food. But the bananas are lost! He hunts all about the hut. Not a bit is left.
Monkey shouts at a wee bee on a plant. But a wee bee can not lift a big bunch.
Monkey looks up and asks Snake about the lost food. Snake grins. Snake hunts rats, not bananas.
Monkey swings and hangs from a plant. His gut groans aloud. A crook has his food! Monkey must hunt the crook!
Monkey stomps on the deck. He is a big grouch! He grits his teeth. His gut groans and groans.
Then Monkey looks out from his deck. He can see a trail on the ground. Bananas!
Rabbit sits on the grass with a big bunch. Monkey shouts out. Rabbit is the crook!
But Rabbit grins. See! The bananas sprout from that plant. Rabbit is not a crook!
Rabbit has an outstanding crop. He ties a bunch up for Monkey. Monkey grins. It is a grand gift!
Monkey stands on the wood steps and thanks Rabbit. But he thinks and thinks. He thinks about the crook.
Peels, peels, all about the deck! Monkey had the bananas! Monkey is the crook, and he grins a big grin.
