The Birds and the Monkeys: A Story About Being Kind

The Birds and the Monkeys

High in a tree lived a bunch of Birds in cozy nests. One rainy day, they saw a group of Monkeys shivering on the ground.

The Birds felt smug and called out, "Why don't you build nests like us? You have hands and feet!" The Monkeys felt insulted. They thought the Birds were being mean and bossy.

When the rain stopped, the angry Monkeys climbed the tree and tore apart all the Birds' nests! The baby birds' eggs fell and broke. The Birds realized they shouldn't have bragged.

This story teaches us to be kind and helpful, not bossy. Even if someone seems different, it's not nice to make fun of them.
