Why Monkey's arms are so long

Why Monkey's Arms Are So Long


Centuries ago in a misty rain forest there lived many animals but only one 
species of animals stood out the most, the monkeys.
Unfortunately the monkey family were very odd. Sadly they
had sort stubby arms, crawled on the ground and ate flowers
and centipedes. Life was very boring in the forest because all
the animals were lethargic and sluggish. However that was all
about to change in the very near year.

Banana the monkey was very adventurous and playful but all of the other animals 
disliked the fact that he had so much energy. Poor Banana was punished for being so 
energetic because all the other animals were jealous of his behaviour.
One sunny day Banana was being his usual self. Jumping around he was so focused on 
trying to climb the biggest tree in the forest that he forgot that tree was the possum’s 
family tree. Mother and father possum were arguing a lot about what to have for dinner. 
When they both saw Banana trying to climb their tree. Fuming possums scurried down 
the tree and grabbed Banana by the arms and pulled so hard that Banana thought that 
was his life gone.

Fortunately something caught the eye of mother and father possum and scurried away. 
Upset Banana managed to run away from them. His arms were dragging on the ground. 
His arms were at least two meters long. 
As Banana walked home all the animals laughed at him and his long arms. Mother 
monkey asked him what had happened. Upset Banana explained to her about his little 
adventure.

To this day monkeys have long lanky arms and because of Bananas amazing attitude 
monkeys eat bananas instead of flowers and centipedes.
