Along time ago, when the world was peacefully, there were no fit, no trouble between human. Animals lived in commitment and friendship. Then later after the earthquake, most of animal’s dead, some of them lost their families. A lot of kind of their food disappeared from the earth. The most affected were the group of the carnivore animals so they started to eat other animals. The small animals were running away to protect their life. But animals called people of the forest decided to form one group and having a leader. This is the group of monkeys. Their females were spiritually and the males were strong and claver.

Their movement was due when the fruit finish at the area around where they live. One year, they immigrant in a small savannah, which was located near the real people huts. There were a lot of food for them; they stayed there for about three years then moving when trees dried.

Next season it was in summer, the weather was very dry; it was very hot in the centre of the earth. Trees died, rivers dried, there were nothing to save life. They decided to travel along the land up to the sea. It took them three days to walk to the sea. In their journey a lot of young monkeys died. When they arrived near the east coast, they tried to surround the area to see if they can find any food. In their searching they found that there were enough food for the season.

One night all the old monkeys were surround the fire, and then the powerful female monkey said I have an idea” and I want the king to Tell every one tomorrow morning that we need to have a tallest young lady which will help all of us, then the king asked so what will you do to make her help us? She said ‘I will make some changes in her and her will looks as the same as the real people, then her will find a husband. When she gets married, she has to tell her husband to make a big farm that will be half for them and half for us. So we can survive. They agree with the idea of the old female.

Six months later the young lady send a message to her comity to say that she has been married with the son the king of real people and they farm will be ready to give the result in two months later. But one thing she hasn’t done is that, she couldn’t tell her husband truly is where she came from and what her comity need.

Two years later her husband went to visit the farm and find that it all most destroyed in the half. He decided to tell his man to find out the destroyer. When they started hunting, they were killing six to eight monkeys a day. But the monkey couldn’t understand what is going on; even when they want to see they daughter they couldn’t see her. Then they decided to come in the real people village to take of their daughter. On their way to the village they were singing: If she is eating let us give her skin back, If she is sleeping let us give her tail back. If she is cooking let us give her skin back, If she is away let us wait her back, Even in the king dome let us give her tail back.
