Hello, this is John, and I'm here with another of our famous monkey stories.

As you're here, this is a particularly speedy story.

Quad Monkey.

The jungle is by a large a peaceful place. The animals enjoy the music of the

the music of the cicadas and the birds and occasionally there is a trumpet or

a distant roar. At the beginning of our tale such trumpeting was scarce as the elephants had set off on their annual migration beyond the great mountain

Leaving a serene stillness in their wake.

Until one day, this peace was shattered by a harsh buzzing sound. The animals instinctively knew that this noise was something to do with the humans

because most strange things in this world are.

The monkey, who is less afraid of the humans than the other animals, went to investigate.

From the safety of a high up branch he watched a man slicing through bushes with an

electric saw while others hacked at the undergrowth with sharp curved sides.

Leaves flutter to the ground and branches snapped underfoot as the men worked.

The monkey soon realized that these humans were clearing the jungle tracks worn down by elephant feet.

They were making them broader and more open, even felling trees to brighten the path with sunlight. After he returned home, the other animals gathered around his tree to listen to what he had found out.

He told them what he had seen.

And then the other spoke in turn, they all had their own. he had

their own, and then the other spoke in turn. They all had their theories. The bear was the first to give his view,

all the while having a jolly good scratch against a tree.

It's about time we had some decent roads through our jungle. The state of those jungle tracks is a drowsious.

The majority of the animals did not share the... The drowsiousious!

The majority of the animals did not share the bear's enthusiasm.
