Deep in the jungle was a young banana who was intently watching banana peels. He became very lonely because his parents were not paying attention to him because they were focused on being chosen to be picked off the tree. He remembered when his father told him about monkeys. His father remarked, "If you ever see a monkey, be sure to call for help because monkeys are very dangerous."
Thinking to get his parents' attention the young banana called, "Monkey! Monkey!" His caring parents heard him, they stopped what they were doing, because they thought he was in danger, and came to him. They didn't spot any monkeys, which caused them to be very angry, and relied, "Don't call for us again when there is no monkey!" He didn't call "Monkey!" for a long time but one day he grew very lonely and called "Monkey!!" once more. His parents came hopping anxiously and again found no monkey. They got very mad at their son and screamed, "Don't do that again!"
Later that day, there was an actual monkey who was climbing eagerly up the banana tree because he was hungry. The young banana noticed the monkey and called "Monkey! Monkey!" His parents heard him but kept on doing what they were doing. The young banana who was in awful danger called again, "Monkey, Monk--!" When his parents heard that they came running swiftly but it was no use. When they arrived it was too late. All they found at the sight was an empty banana peel.
Morale; When nothing is wrong, don't call for help because next time no one will believe you.
