Max is a little monkey. He lives in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Max loves to play. He often plays all day long.

One day, Max saw a butterfly. He chased it until he met some children.

The children were excited. They ran up to Max, pointing and screaming.

Max was frightened. He does not like people looking at him

or making loud noises.

Max ran away. Soon, he met a man along the path.

The man thought Max was hungry. He gave Max a chicken wing.

The chicken wing made Max sick, because human food is not good for little monkeys.

A family came along the path. They wanted to take pictures of cute little Max.

Their cameras flashed. The bright lights scared Max.

Max ran away, crying, "Mommy! Where are you?"

Luckily, Mommy Monkey was nearby. She found Max crying and hugged him. "Don't be sad, people make mistakes. They will learn how to live with us."

The End!
