Monkey An The Rocks

THE MONKEY AND THE ROCKS
March 1, 2012
There was once a monkey called Monty who lived on an island that was largely inhabited byother monkeys. The most important scientists on the planet had figured out that climate change would affect this island very badly, almost sinking it completely.So each of the monkeys decided to build a house on the highest part of the island to protect themselves from the floods on the day the disasterwould come. Monty had designed his house to withstand a very big flood, and this required very big rocks.
All the monkeys built their houses in justone day, and then spent the rest of their time playing cards and enjoying their new homes. They all laughed at Monty, because while they had alreadybuilt their houses, Monty had only drawn some plans. But Monty was convinced that his house could survive any floodand although it might take along time to build, it was worth the wait.

So Monty moved only one big stone a day, which meant that his house took shape very slowly and theother monkeys continued to laugh at him. But Monty didn’t care, and went on building his house stone by stone.
After a few months, when the othermonkeys had got tired of playing cards, Monty finished his house and very proudly threw a big party to which he invited all the monkeys on theisland. as well as the kindest-hearted and most generous, for he had wanted to save them all from the flood without expecting anything in return.
