Once upon a time, there was a mother monkey who lived in a jungle with her baby monkey. One day, while they were swinging from the trees, they saw a mouse running towards them. The mouse was carrying a lemon and asked for their help to find the king of the jungle.
The mother monkey and her baby agreed to help and went on a journey with the mouse. They encountered a lion who claimed to be the king and demanded the lemon as a tribute. The mouse bravely stepped forward and told the lion that the lemon was actually a gift for him.
The lion, surprised by the mouse's kind gesture, asked what he could do in return. The mouse said, "I would like a leaf to build my home." The lion granted his request and gave him a beautiful, big leaf.
As they continued their journey, they came across a mango tree and stopped to eat some juicy mangoes. Suddenly, they heard a loud growl and realized that the real king of the jungle was a tiger who was very angry at the lion for pretending to be him.
The tiger confronted the lion and the mother monkey stepped in to protect her new friend, the mouse. She used her intelligence and wit to distract the tiger and helped the mouse escape with the lemon and the leaf.
And thus, the mouse was able to build his dream home and the mother monkey and her baby returned to their jungle, proud of their bravery and kindness.
The end.
