"Banana City"
by

O
nce upon a time there was a monkey family of three, the mamaís name was M.M., the baby sister was named Misty, and the big brotherís name was Matt. They all lived in their treetop home, until one day a Banana Burglar broke in.

When M.M. awoke in the morning to make banana bread for breakfast, there was no bananaís. She scurried into Mattís room and told him the whole story and to go searching for bananaís, ì but be back before dark or the cheetahís will eat you.î

Off Matt wondered, and it wasnít until 3:00pm that he found Fred the wise frog and decided to ask him if he knew where any bananas were. Fred told him about Banana City. ìBe back home before dark or the cheetahís will eat you.î

Off Matt strolled in search of Banana City. At 4:30pm he finally found Banana City. Everything was made out of bananas; it was like El Dorado for us except everything was made out of bananas. He didnít even want to think about leaving, he would never be hungry again if he stayed. There he sat in his banana chair eating bananas. As it turned out no cheetahs could get in there because leopards and panthers protected it. There was a tournament where any monkey could become king of banana city.
At 5:30 pm Fred came to tell Matt something. ìI know what you are thinkingî said Fred,î you probably think that nothing bad will happen, well I could ask one of my panther friends to walk you home or you can stay and a horrible curse that can make you die in three days will live on you.
Hearing this Matt races back home with the panther by his side. In fact he ran so fast he was home by 5:45pm. He told them about his adventures and that they should go shopping at Banana City everyday. From then on M.M., Misty, and Matt ate happily ever after.



The End
