香蕉樹

很久以前
在這片森林里面有一棵唯一的香蕉樹。
香蕉樹上有兩串香蕉。
有三個來自山村的孩子。
他們正在觀察香蕉的成長。
有四只來自這片森林的猴子。
他們正在觀察香蕉的成長。
孩子們在每一天下午六點鐘看香蕉。
猴子們在每一天早上六點鐘看香蕉。
這三個孩子和這四只猴子非常興奮。
很快香蕉就快能吃了。
他們全部七個人都想吃香蕉。
一天傍晚孩子們跑到香蕉樹。
八只色彩鮮艷的蝴蝶正落在香蕉上。
香蕉差不多成黃顏色了。
“現在讓我們吃香蕉。”
“不，他們沒有熟呢。”
第二天早上猴子們看到香蕉。
有九粒露水在香蕉上發光。
這三個孩子跑到香蕉樹旁，把香蕉作為早餐。
這四只猴子從一棵樹到另一棵樹搖蕩來到
香蕉樹。十點鐘了。猴子們和孩子們
要把香蕉當作早餐。孩子們看到猴子們感到
非常煩亂。猴子們看到孩子們感到非常煩亂。
孩子們非常害怕猴子們拿走所有的香蕉。
猴子們害怕孩子們拿走所有的香蕉。孩子們
很餓。他們也很疲倦。猴子們很餓。他們也
很疲倦。孩子們太疲倦了而不能扔石頭。
猴子們太疲倦了而不能扔木棍。
“我很餓。”“我也是。”
“讓我們和猴子們一起分享香蕉。”
“好的！讓我們和猴子們一起分享香蕉。”
猴子們和孩子們享用了他們的早餐。
他們也明白了分享比爭斗更好。
