In a town full of monkeys, there was one very special monkey named Luna the Lunatic. Luna was known far and wide for telling the most crazy stories. But, oh boy, his stories were so ridiculous that most parents thought they were just plain crazy!
They would often tell their children, “Don’t listen to Luna’s stories!” and even tried to keep their kids away from him. While some of them listened to their parent’s advice, there was one little monkey who just couldn’t stay away—her name was Rina.
Rina loved Luna’s stories. One story that Luna loved telling was the story of how monkey’s used to fly once upon a time. Luna told of how in the olden days, monkeys used to jump off cliffs to unlock their flying abilities. Once a monkey had unlocked his abilities, he would fly around, faster than all the birds. This story interested Rina so much that she also wanted to unlock her hidden flying abilities.
Rina thought this was the coolest thing ever and wanted to try flying too. Even though her parents told her it was just a story, she was determined to find a way to fly. She looked everywhere for a cliff, but there were no cliffs, hills, or mountains anywhere near her home.
But Rina wasn’t ready to give up. She had a brilliant idea—she would build her very own hill! She gathered every banana peel she could find and started stacking them up to create her “banana hill.” Every day, she collected more peels, making her hill taller and taller. It took a lot of work, but Rina was excited!
Finally, the big day arrived. Rina’s banana hill was now high enough for her to jump from. All the monkeys in town came to see her try, except for Rina’s parents. They were too worried and thought it was too dangerous.
With a deep breath, Rina climbed to the top of the banana hill and jumped! She fell fast as felt the wind rush past her. She thought this was the end of her life but she was lucky to land on the heap of extra banana peels that she had left set up on the side of the banana hill.
Rina was safe and sound, but she learned an important lesson. Flying like Luna’s story wasn’t quite as easy as she’d hoped.
The townsfolk wanted to hear nothing more from Luna and his crazy stories that asked him to leave the town.
