a branch right

bite, and he ran
and ran and ran,
until he could
not run
anymore.

of the bushes!

know where
he was
running to, he
just knew he
had to get
away from the
bushes!

to a clear field
where he could
rest and start
eating fruit, he
ate many, many,
many fruits to
get energy.

dance, because
he had so much
energy. He

attract animals.

began a show.
Before and after

so good that

dancing ape.
