Shelo Monkey

 Written by: Abdullah Fazli

In a large forest, Shilo had recently found a friend named Tetmo. One day, a bear chased them. Teto and Shilo hid behind a big tree.

Shilo blamed Tetmo and said that his old friend (Yellow Monkey) told him that he would regret becoming friends with Tetmo but he refused. Tetmo said that Shilo became friend with him because of getting a variety of foods.

Shilo said that if the bear captures them, it will not leave them alive. Tetmo said that he would go to a remote place where the bear might not find him, but Shilo told him that the bear was coming toward them. Shilo and Tetmo climbed a big tree.

The bear roared and said that he will not return without punishing Shilo and Tetmo. All the animals heard the roar of the bear.

Shilo was afraid of the bear's roar and fell from the tree and injured his leg. Shilo asked Tetmo for help, but Tetmo refused and said that if he helps Shilo, the bear will catch him.


The bear attacked Shilo. Shilo tried to climb the tree again but could not. The bear grabbed him and Shilo was crying and asking for help. Meanwhile, he heard someone telling him that he is coming for help.

It was the voice of Shilo's old friend, the yellow monkey. The yellow monkey arrived and begged the bear to let Shiloh go, but the bear said that Shilo and Tetmo had stolen the honey from his house and now he wanted it.

 The bear imprisoned Shilo in a cave and put a big stone in from of the cave so that Shilo will not be able to escape. The yellow monkey went away.

All the animals gathered behind the cave. Shilo was crying and wanted the bear to let him go, but the bear said that he wanted to take him to another forest away from this forest.
Other animals also complained that Shilo always steals their food and other items.

Meanwhile, the yellow monkey arrived with a swollen face and said that he would solve the issue. The yellow monkey said that he knows that Tetmo stole the honey from the bear's house, but the bear thinks that Shilo has stolen the honey.

The bear and other animals asked the yellow monkey why his face is swollen. The yellow monkey replied that when he wanted to take some honey from the hive for the bear, the bees attacked him

ږShilo said that Tetmo was used to stealing and as I was his friend, the other animals thought I was a thief. Shilo cut off his friendship with Tetmo. The yellow monkey gave honey to the bear and released Shilo. The bear said that a good friend will take care of you but a bad friend will destroy your life.
