   Nahmee the monkey lived deep in the jungle of the 

African rainforests. He's an omnivore, which meant he 

ate plants and animals. Nahmee swung from tree to tree 

everyday, searching for fruits, leaves, bugs and 

sometimes bird eggs to eat.

   His home was really warm, but at least he got 200 to 

450 cm of rain per year! That's enough water for him to 

drink and to play. He slept in the trees after his hunt. 

The trees were so high, about 130-160 ft long, and he 

felt like he could touch the sky. There were over 100 

species that lived in the jungle, but Nahmee only had a 

few monkey friends.

   One day, Nahmee and his monkey friends, Reina and 

Kai, were roaming the forest, looking for a special meal 

to eat. They had to be careful and quiet, though. Birds, 

their archenemies, would fly down and take them away 

from their homes if they weren't. Nahmee and other 

monkeys in the jungle were primary consumers, 

meaning they could still be eaten by other animals who 

were stronger and faster. 

   Nahmee was gathering leaves from the trees when he 

stumbled across a group of humans. They didn't look 

friendly and it made Nahmeee very scared. 

  Nahmee, Reina and Kai climbed into the trees, trying 

to be sneaky, and heard listened to their conversation. 

  The humans were laughing and talking about all their 

evil plans. They hear all of it and was sad to know they 

wanted to take away their jungle. 

  The humans want to cut down all the trees, but where 

was Nahmee and his friends supposed to live if they do? 

What's going to happen to them?

   Nahmee, Reina and Kai returned home to tell their 

friends and family about the news.

   If the humans cut down all the trees, it will cause a 

lot of problems for Nahmee and his friends in the 

jungle. They will have nowhere to live and would not 

get enough shade to survive the super hot weather. The 

water that they drink will also be polluted, which means 

it would be very poisonous for all the animals in the 

jungle. 

  Nahmee was afraid for his friends and family because 

he didn't want to lose them or his rainforest. 

  It's up to Nahmee and his friends to convince the other 

animals in the jungle to work together in order to save 

their home. 

   One day, Nahmee gathered his monkey friends so 

they can go talk to the humans. He wanted to explain to 

them that what they were doing was wrong and that 

they weren't going to lose their home so easily.

  "What if they don't listen to us?" Kai asked.

  "Yeah, what if they don't leave the forest?" questioned 

Reina, frowning. "What would happen then?"

  Nahmee didn't know want to think about what would 

happen; it was too sad. The humans were much 

stronger than the monkeys, and Nahmee didn't want 

them to go up against eachother. He wanted them all to 

be friends.

  "They'll listen," Nahmee said. He wasn't sure about 

that, but he didn't want his friends to be scared. "I know 

they will. You just have to believe!" 

  Kai and Reina sighed, but followed Nahmee through 

the forest anyways. They believed in him, not in the 

humans. They've heard stories about them, and it made 

Kai and Reina not like the humans one bit.
