Once in a big, lush rainforest, where lots of good things to eat grew there was a little monkey named Tomu who was always being picked on by Rita the most beautiful giraffe and Rudy the biggest elephant. “ Ha, ha, ha you are so small you cannot do anything we can do.” they boasted. “I can, I can,” Tomu said, “ I can do anything you can do.” “Then prove it,” said Rita. “ I will.” said Tomu. To prove that Tomu could do anything Rita and Rudy could do he had to do three tests. The first test was to spray water on Rita, Rudy made it up. Tomu walked straight to the river and filled his mouth with water and spit the water as hard as he could, and sprayed it straight onto the dirt beneath them. “Oh yah the dirt is me,” they teased. The second test was to stretch your neck as far as it could go and eat some leaves of the tallest tree; this was Rita’s idea. Tomu stretched his neck so far it felt like it was going to rip off, but it wasn’t far enough.
“Ha, ha you are still so small.” Rudy teased. The third and final test was to pull out a giant pineapple. “Ok,” said Rita, “listen up this is a prize winning pineapple, and I want you to pull it out so Rudy and I can eat it, understand.” Tomu nodded. He ran to the giant fruit and tugged with all his might.
First tug, nothing
Second tug, nothing
Third tug, something!
In front of Tomu’s very eyes was a giant pineapple and it wasn’t attached to the ground! Rita and Rudy where amazed they circled the pineapple, what seemed to be, fifty times. After that Tomu, Rita and Rudy all ate pineapple pie and drank pineapple juice.
