In the middle of the green forest, three little monkeys—Lulu, Moka, and Bibi—were trapped in separate corners after a big storm destroyed their old tree home. They could hear each other’s voices but couldn’t see one another. Lulu cried softly, “I miss you, Moka!” Bibi answered with a trembling voice, “I want to play again like before.” Their small hearts were filled with fear and loneliness.
Watching them from a distance was the wise and strong leader of the troop—Big Tom. He was a large, calm monkey known for his kindness and fair leadership. When he saw the three little ones struggling to reunite, his heart filled with sympathy. “They are too young to be apart,” he thought. “It’s time for a leader to help.”
Big Tom climbed from tree to tree, clearing broken branches and calling out to his troop. Some monkeys gathered leaves to make safe paths, while others helped move fallen logs. Slowly, under Big Tom’s guidance, the three separated monkeys began to see each other again. When Lulu spotted Moka through the bushes, she squealed with joy and ran to hug her friend. Bibi joined, clinging tightly to both of them.
The troop watched with warm smiles as Big Tom stood nearby, his eyes full of pride. He didn’t need applause; seeing them safe and happy was enough. He softly released a long sigh of relief and said, “Now you are together again—never forget that unity makes us strong.”
That day, all the monkeys learned what true leadership meant—not power or strength, but the heart to help others when they are lost. Big Tom became the symbol of hope, the good leader who brought his family back together.
