A long time ago, in a forest village, lived a group of special monkeys. They had learned to dance and were known everywhere for their wonderful performances. Every day, they danced on stage, jumping and twirling, bringing joy to everyone who watched.
But one day, during a show, a villager threw some nuts on the stage. The monkeys loved nuts. As soon as they saw the nuts, they forgot about their dance. They rushed towards the nuts, pushing and shoving to grab as many as they could.
Their beautiful dance turned into a messy fight. The people watching were surprised. They didn't clap or cheer. Instead, they quietly left, leaving the monkeys fighting over nuts on the empty stage.
The monkeys looked around and realized their mistake. The stage was empty, the clapping and cheers were gone. They had let their love for nuts disrupt their dance and spoil the show.

In a big forest, there are many monkeys. These monkeys can dance very well. Every day, they dance on a big stage. The people like to watch them. The people feel happy when they see the monkeys dance.
One day, the monkeys dance on the stage. A person throws some nuts on the stage. The monkeys love nuts. They see the nuts and stop dancing. They run to get the nuts. They push each other to get more nuts.
The people see the monkeys run. They stop watching. They leave the stage. The monkeys keep fighting for the nuts.
After some time, the monkeys look around. The stage is empty. The people are gone. The monkeys feel sad. They know they made a mistake. They stopped dancing to get the nuts. Now, the show is over, and the people are not happy.

Once upon a time, in a village deep within a forest, there lived a unique group of monkeys. These monkeys were renowned for their remarkable dancing abilities. Every day, they would perform on a stage, leaping and twirling with grace. Their dances brought joy and happiness to everyone who watched.
One day, during one of their performances, a villager tossed some nuts onto the stage. The monkeys adored nuts and couldn't resist them. As soon as they spotted the nuts, they forgot about their dance. They rushed toward the nuts, shoving each other in their haste to gather as many as possible.
Their elegant dance quickly turned into a disordered scramble. The audience was astonished. Instead of clapping and cheering, they quietly departed, leaving the monkeys bickering over nuts on the now empty stage.
When the monkeys finally looked around, they saw that the stage was deserted, and the applause and cheers had ceased. They understood that their love for nuts had interrupted their performance and spoiled the show.
Once upon a groove, in a forest where the trees had rhythm, there was a group of super-duper special monkeys. Oh, they weren't your average, everyday, "eat a banana and scratch your head" monkeys. Nope! They were dancing monkeys, and let me tell you, they could really cut a rug!
Every day, these monkeys danced on stage, hopping and twirling, and shaking their tails, like no monkey's business. They brought joy, laughter, and a few dropped jaws to everyone who watched. They were the Michael Jacksons of the monkey world!
But then, one day, during the high-flying, toe-tapping jamboree, something absolutely nuts happened. Literally, NUTS! A villager, probably thinking it was snack time, threw a bunch of nuts onto the stage.
Well, these monkeys were bonkers for nuts! As soon as those little treasures landed, the monkeys forgot their dance. It was like someone hit the pause button on their disco brains.
They rushed towards the nuts like bargain hunters on Black Friday, pushing and shoving, sliding and gliding, in a mad scramble for the crunchy gold. It was a nutty ballet of chaos!
Their beautiful dance turned into a dance-off for nuts! Twirling and swirling, shoving and pushing, it was a messy dance battle royale.
The audience was flabbergasted. They didn't clap or cheer. Instead, they quietly left, thinking, "Well, this wasn't on the program!" and leaving the monkeys tangoing with nuts on an empty stage.
The monkeys, finally taking a breather, looked around and realized their nutty mistake. The stage was empty, the clapping and cheers were gone, and all that was left was the echo of a nutcracker suite gone wrong.
They sighed and scratched their heads, understanding they had let their love for nuts break up their dance groove and spoil the show. It was a lesson learned in the school of hard nuts!
So, the next time they danced, they made sure to keep their eyes on the prize – or in this case, the dance – and leave the nuts for later. Because, when life throws you nuts, you've got to keep dancing!
Once upon a village scene,
Where trees were lush and air so clean,
Special monkeys danced with glee,
Their twirls and jumps a sight to see.
Everywhere their fame did spread,
For the lovely dance they led.
Crowds would gather, eyes would gleam,
Watching the monkeys live their dream.
But during one fine show's delight,
A twist occurred, not quite right.
Nuts were thrown upon the floor,
Monkeys loved them, oh so more!
Their graceful moves were left behind,
For nuts, they raced, each one inclined.
Pushing, shoving, no more dance,
Just a nutty, greedy prance.
The crowd was stunned, no more cheers,
Whispers replaced, and many jeers.
The stage now empty, no applause in sight,
For the monkeys lost their dancing light.
Amid the silence, they looked around,
Their dancing joy was nowhere found.
For a handful of nuts, their fame did wane,
A lesson learned, in joy and pain.
