Mo, The Lost Monkey
A monkey, called Flo, lived in a forest with her old Mother, Ro, and her young son, Mo.
One cold morning Flo woke to find Mo was not by her side, on the wide branch, in the tall tree they called home.
She hurried up to a higher branch to visit her old Mother.
“Have you seen Mo?” she asked.
“No,” her old Mother replied.
She looked on the ground below the tall tree they called home.
Mo was not there.
Flo hurried over to her brother, Bro, who lived in his own tall tree in the forest.
“Have you seen Mo?” she asked him.
“No, I haven’t,” he said.
“I think he’s lost,” she told him, almost in tears.
“I wonder where he is?” Bro said. “Let’s look by the river. He loves playing in the water.”

Using vines like ropes they swung from tree to tree until they reached the river. The water was shallow near the edge where it was flowing over some stones. This was where Mo liked to play, but he was not there.
A yellow and red snake crawled along in front of them.
“Have you seen Mo?” Bro asked.
“No. He hasssn’t been here thissss morning,” hissed the snake as it slid over a log and onto a rock.
“Oh dear. Where can he be?” Flo wailed.
“Let’s look in the cave. He often goes there to visit Leo the Lion,”
Bro suggested.
To get to the cave they had to creep along a narrow ledge, above the river. When the cave came in sight they could only see the shadow of the cave inside its opening.
Nothing moved.
Leo was still asleep inside.

Flo started to sob.
“Let’s go home and decide what to do,” Bro said. He was getting worried too.
They crept back along the narrow ledge and swung themselves through the trees until they reached the tall tree Flo called home.
Ro was waiting for them. Her face dropped when she realised they had not found Mo.
They all sat on the wide branch in the tall tree wondering what to do next, when the hollow branch just below them started to move.
They stared as the branch seemed to come alive.
They couldn’t believe their eyes.
Something was coming out of the hole in the middle of the branch.
“It’s Mo!” Flo shouted as she rushed down and grabbed him. “What were you doing in the hollow branch?”
Mo was sleepy.
He didn’t know what all the fuss was about.
“It was so cold last night I crawled into the hollow log to keep warm,” he said. “I often sleep in there, but usually I come out before you wake up.”
Flo held him tight. She couldn’t think of anything to say.
Bro shrugged his shoulders and went back to his own tall tree.
Old Mother Monkey smiled and nodded her head.
