Lellow the lion looked up to see Mo the monkey juggling several small berries into the air.  Lellow eyes began to cross as he watched the berries fall from the highest tree.

Then, with an angry roar, Lellow the lion jumped up. All the animals began to run and hide and the bird’s wings began to flap as the birds flew from the treetops. The birds were frightened off by Lellow's angry roar.

All the other animals began to scurry around, they were looking for a place to hide between the branches of the trees.

With a lazy growl, Lellow the lion said to Mo the monkey, “It’s too early to play games.”  Lellow the lion then laid back down, resting his head on his paws and fell asleep.

All the other animals came out from their hiding places, they were nervously chattering.   Even the monkeys came out to play. The monkeys were swinging from the branches with their tails.  The birds also began to return to the treetops.
