Far, far away in the
middle of the deep
fit^'
blue sea were two
small islands.
On Banana Island
there lived a little
chimp named
Geo

and on Coconut
Island there lived a
little chimp named

One day, George saw Jess and
thought, "Wow, she looks friendly!"
And Jess saw George and thought,
"Hey, he looks nice!"
And they both thought about how
much fun it would be to share a banana
milkshake and a piece of coconut cake.

But there was a problem.
In the deep blue sea between
the two islands there were . .
sharks!

"Don't worry!"
shouted George to Jess.
"I have a plan. I'll make
some wings from the
leaves of my banana
tree and fly across to
visit you." George
flapped and flapped his
new wings. He jumped
up and down but he
couldn't fly.

the sharks sang, snapping
at George's little
chimp toes.

Jess dug and dug,
but the sharks heard
the digging noise.
the sharks sang as they
smashed and bashed the

tunnel until it flooded.
"Never mind," called George.
"I've got another idea!"
Jess watched as George tied
banana peels to his
slippery
hands and feet and started to
ski-surf across the water.

so far, but before she could warn George

Jess soon thought of a
brilHant plan. "This will
scare the sharks away," she
shouted to George. With a
mighty roar she jumped out
from behind the tree, waving
her arms around. But the
sharks were not in the least
bit afraid. They found the
crabby coconut costume
very funny and laughed
until their bellies ached.

"This is no good," thought the little
chimps. "We've tried every idea in our
heads. We need to think of something
new if we're ever going to share
milkshakes and cake!"
t
They both dimbed up their
trees —a very good place to go
when you need to think.

As the chimps climbed higher and
higher, the trees began to bend.
.
The higher they climbed, the more the
trees bent . . . and bent . . . until . .
"Oh no! We'll be eaten for sure!"
Then, something
amazing happened.
Their treetops met and
tangled tightly together
to form a big leafy knot.
"Hooray, we're
saved!" cried George
and Jess, high above the
horrible, hungry sharks.
And they were
together!
"Hi, George!" said
"HeUo, Jess!" said

To celebrate their new friendship,
George and Jess had a party with music
and dancing. And of course lots of
banana milkshakes and coconut cake!
Y^i"^"^y? yummy! Food for my tummy!" the sharks
sing as they swim between George and Jess's islands,
waiting for the httle monkeys to fall in the water.
But George and Jess want to get together for
banana milkshakes and coconut cake, and they aren't
going to let those sharks stop them! From banana-leaf
wings to undersea tunnels, the monkeys will stop at
nothing to get around those hungry sharks!
Finally, Jess and George sit down and think for a
linute, and the answer to their problem appears!
