Orla the orangutan was eating a yellow banana. Orla had about five bananas sitting by her side waiting to be devoured. Orla’s friend Gary the grasshopper jumped onto her side.
“hey orla, whatcha got there?” he asked
Orla wiped her mouth and muttered “a banana...”. Gary had seen Orla eating bananas time and time again.
“Why do you ask, Gary?” she continued.
Gary remained quiet. Orla, who was confused, continued eating.
Around the corner Harry the Hippopotamus was munching on the grass below him. Harry’s sister Henrique was growing tired of the boring green grass.
“How could you find grass boring?” Henry was quite confused.
“Henry...ah Henry...it’s so basic. We’ve literally had it since forever.”
“yeah and it’s still amazing”
“i just...i was to try those yellow things.”
“the bananas? You know Orla would never let you have those- their hers.”
“well...maybe she won’t miss a couple.” Henrique says in a suspicious tone.
Harry doesn’t bother to stop her since he knows that Henrique does what she wants.
Gary the grasshopper heard all of this and instantly told Orla Henrique’s plan.
Henrique, who was on the smaller scale for Hippos, snuck behind Orla. She reached her face towards the bananas. inching closer and closer ready to grasp one.
Orla snapped around, “Henrique- just what do you think you’re doing?”. Henrique was shocked, she was so sneaky how did she know. overwhelmed with guilt she confessed.
“Henrique...you know if you had just asked I would’ve given you one.” Orla laughed.
“Oh...” Henrique felt guilty and undeserving.
Orla offered a banana but Henrique denied, maybe stealing wasn’t the best way to get what she wanted.
The end!
