The story

My son was five when he told me about a gorilla who went looking for bananas and found a tiger asleep in his tree. What followed was a fight neither of them wanted, a nervous monkey determined to stop it, and bananas shared instead of kept. At the end they find a scary black cave and promise each other never to go inside, which is exactly the kind of pact five year olds believe friendship is made of.

Where this story comes from

Told by our son at age five.
