Story Synopsis
A small Child builds her play hut in the jungle only to have Boss Monkey invite his friends
to come a slide down the roof. As the monkey troops increase by tens - 10 20 30 40 - the Child becomes desperate. When the largest snake in the jungle - an anaconda - arrives.
Now it's up to Boss Monkey
to save the Child.
It begins in the jungle of an Ancient Time,
When birds make music, and children
speak rhyme.
When monkeys swing through the canopies,
While children build play huts beneath
the trees.
...
...
20 monkeys hear the words, “Come back!”
Chuckling and giggling, they march toward
the shack.
Onto the roof they leap from a rock,
O my, the small hut is shaking in shock!
