Once upon a time, there was a fruit stand in a forest. The stand had all kinds of delicious fruits like apples, bananas, lemons, cherries, pears, and oranges.

One day, an adventurous monkey named Max wanted to try each fruit. So, he went to the fruit stand and picked one of each. He took a big bite of the apple and loved its sweet taste. Then he tried the banana and found it just as yummy.

Next, Max tried the lemon and made a funny face because it was sour. But, he still ate it because he wanted to try every fruit. He then tasted the cherry, which was juicy and sweet at the same time.

Finally, Max tried the pear and orange. He liked both but decided the pear was his favorite. From that day on, Max visited the fruit stand every day to try a different combination of fruits.

The end.
