Leo had been walking around the Jungle for a little while when he stumbled onto a group of monkeys playing a skipping game with a vine from a nearby tree.
"Hello," Leo said.
"Look!" One monkey said happily, "It's a yellow horse!" At this the monkeys became very excited.
"I am not a horse," Leo said unhappily, "I am a Lion. A very lonely lion and I was looking for some friends to play with."
"If you're not a horse than we don't want to play with you," another monkey said. With that the monkeys swung away through the trees with a boom and a clap and a stamp and a hop.
