an easy thing. There lived a group of monkeys, and the smallest monkeys
loved to throw bananas at any plant that started to grow. They threw so many
bananas at the first seed that she was almost cut into two. When she told the
other seeds what happened, they thought that it would be better to wait until
the monkeys went away.
