4 - 7 years old
A monkey lived in a forest filled with fruit trees. He had bananas, mangoes, and berries to eat every day.
One morning, he found a shiny yellow banana on the ground. “What luck!” he said, and took it in his hand.
Then he saw another one on a branch. “Even better! Two are better than one.”
He grabbed it too. Now both hands were full.
As he turned to go, he spotted a third banana across the stream. “Oh! That one looks sweeter!”
He ran to get it, but didn’t want to drop the others.
So he tried to pick up the third banana with his foot.
He wobbled. He stretched. He slipped!
Splat! All three bananas flew into the water.
He sat up, wet and muddy. “My bananas!” he cried.
A parrot on a tree called down, “Three is too many if you can't carry one!”
The monkey sighed. “I had enough. But I wanted more.”
He walked back to the tree—empty-handed, empty-bellied.
A squirrel tossed him a nut. “Here,” she said. “Don’t drop this one too.”
He laughed, caught it, and ate it slowly.
From that day on, he carried only what he could hold—and smiled at every bite.
Because sometimes, one banana is better than none.
And sometimes, “just one more” is the one that makes you fall.
