Once upon a time, in a jungle so wild
There lived a mother monkey and her child
The baby monkey loved to play and run
But when he was hungry, he needed some fun

He hopped on his mother's back with glee
And she offered him milk to drink with glee
He opened his mouth wide and took a sip
And felt his tummy fill up, bit by bit

But as they wandered through the jungle that day
They encountered a monster, big and grey
It had sharp teeth and a fearsome growl
And it made the mother monkey's heart howl

But the baby monkey, he was quite bold
He jumped off his mother's back, brave and bold
He saw a tiny mouse, trembling with fear
And he knew just what he had to do, clear

He chased the monster away with his might
And the mouse, so grateful, hugged him tight
The mother monkey looked on with pride
At her brave little monkey, by her side

And so, they returned to their home in the trees
With memories of adventure and bravery
The baby monkey, his mother, and his friend
Ready for whatever the jungle might send.
