Read the passage carefully and summarize it. 1x5=5 One day in the rainforest, The Monkey was having a difficult time finding a banana to eat. He climbed up and around all the trees in search of a piece of the sweet golden fruit, but there were none anywhere to be found. It had been a tough morning of swinging and searching that left him hungrier than he was in the first place. His stomach groaned with pain. How could he get a banana? Steal one? Nah. That wouldn't be fair on his friends. Keep looking? Nope. Not anymore. He was too hungry for that. With an angrily groaning stomach, he climbed up a tree to sit and figure out a plan. As he sat, one of his friends walked past with a mouth-watering banana in hand. The Monkey stared, he was jealous of his friend. Where did he get that banana? He was certain there were none to be found. His friend hadn't opened it yet, so The Monkey considered it as good as his. His hunger made him cunning; he was desperate for food. His friend was getting further away, so the monkey had to act fast. He picked five leaves from the tree and swung down. His friend was startled by a thud, but realised that it was just The Monkey. He shown his friend the five leaves and explained that he wished to swap the five leaves for the banana. At first, his friend was confused and skeptical, until the monkey explained that he had more leaves than his friend had bananas, so it really was a great deal. It all made sense now, and his friend happily swapped the banana for the leaves and they parted ways. He was so proud of himself! Five leaves for a banana was a great deal, he thought. This banana was special - the first he'd had all day - so he ate it next to the waterfall with pride. He pinched the bottom of the skin, twisted the nub, peeled it, and discarded it before chomping down. After his delicious snack, he rushed to the nearest tree and picked all the leaves he could and kept them in a pile in a hole beside the waterfall. The next day, he carried ten leaves with him and went on the search for more of his friends. Soon enough, he found one of them sitting up a tree with a delicious, golden banana. The Monkey swung his way up and offered his friend five leaves for the banana. His friend was confused by the offer, but was convinced on how good it was after The Monkey explained that he was to give his friend more leaves than he has bananas. His friend snatched the leaves and gave The Monkey the banana, success!
