executive’s private plane crashed. Some of the crew
were hurt, so the pilot decided to stay with them and wait for help. The
arrogant executive,
though, didn’t care about the
welfare of the pilot and crew. Rather,
he thought he could

and had no care for the aesthetic value of
the jungle. He continued to walk up the steep
incline of the jungle’s hills.

fatigue and hunger weakened him. He was
very tired and afraid.

It was carrying a twig covered in honey. It
walked up to a mound where
termites lived. He then used the twig like a
drill to make a
hole in the mound. Then very carefully, it removed the twig from the hole. The
sticky twig
was covered with termites.
Instead of eating
the bugs, the monkey offered them to the executive, but he didn’t
want what the monkey offered. He shouted at the monkey, “Get away from me, you stupid
