In a quiet forest on the edge of a growing town, a troop of young monkeys lived among the tall trees and abandoned buildings. They were playful, curious, and often bold—sometimes too bold for their own safety. Among them were two mischievous siblings, Roko and Tima, known for ignoring warnings from both their elders and the humans who visited the area.
One afternoon, after a heavy rain, the troop came down from the canopy to search for leftover fruit near the old power station. The elders stayed back, sensing danger, but Roko and Tima rushed ahead with excitement. Their eyes sparkled at the sight of tall metal poles and dangling wires—things they had never explored closely before.
Despite the loud buzzing from the high-voltage lines, the youngsters believed it was simply another place to climb. The troop leader barked warnings, signaling them to stay away, but Roko and Tima had already scrambled up the metal frame, treating it like just another tree trunk.
Just as they reached the midpoint of the pole, a sharp crackle filled the air. A bright flash pulsed through the wires, startling them. Heat surged through the metal, and both monkeys jumped back in panic, barely avoiding a dangerous shock. Their fur stood on end, and their hearts raced.
The elders rushed forward, scolding them loudly. The troop gathered close, shaken but relieved that the reckless climb had not ended in tragedy. Roko and Tima finally understood that some dangers cannot be seen until it is too late.
That day became a lifelong lesson for the troop: curiosity is natural, but ignoring warnings can bring real harm. From then on, the young monkeys kept their distance from the humming wires, choosing safer branches—and wiser adventures.
