Three little monkeys, accompanied by their wise big monkey, find themselves perched atop a branch in the enchanting forest canopy. With a sense of adventure, the big monkey bids them farewell, stating, "OK, monkeys! I'm off. Remember, whatever you do, do not venture down to the mango tree. There are tigers lurking below."

The little monkeys' eyes light up with excitement as they contemplate the luscious mangoes. They can't resist the temptation and begin to consider the possibility of just taking a quick peek. After all, it wouldn't be wrong, right?

However, a voice of caution echoes in their minds, reminding them of the big monkey's warning. They hesitate, torn between their desire for the mangoes and the fear of encountering the dangerous tigers.

In this captivating tale, Chris Haughton explores the nature of curiosity and the consequences of defying authority. Through the eyes of the little monkeys, we witness the struggle between temptation and prudence, highlighting the importance of staying within the boundaries set for our safety and well-being.

This story serves as a reminder that even when we are tempted to explore the unknown, it is crucial to weigh the risks and consider the potential consequences before acting. It encourages us to embrace our mischievous side within the confines of responsible behavior, knowing that sometimes, the greatest rewards come from staying within the lines.

So, let us take a lesson from the three little monkeys and their wise big monkey and remember to always stay curious, but also to be mindful of the dangers that lie beyond the boundaries of our safety.
