Once upon a time there was a monkey named Monkey. For Monkey’s entire life he had lived in nice and warm Africa. That all changed when he moved to Japan because he realised that he was a Japanese macaque. He moved there when it was summer so it was still warm and not cold. Monkey was happy that he got accepted really fast into the troop he found! Monkey followed them and learned from them. Then fall happened. It was Monkey’s first time in colder weather. Monkey asked how many more weeks the cold was going to last, the other monkeys asked if he was joking. Monkey was now very sad because he was going to have to live with the cold weather. He learned to like the colder weather in fall, but then he remembered that winter came after fall. Monkey was not looking forward to the even colder weather. That was until he noticed the white stuff falling from the sky. He asked what it was, the other monkeys said it was snow. Monkey LOVED the snow! He rolled it up and played with it for a long time. After a while Monkey got hungry and asked how they were going to find food. The monkeys said they were going to go to a hot spring and look for food around them. Monkey was looking forward to the hot springs. After a few more months the snow melted and winter had ended. Monkey was happy and a little sad, he disliked the cold weather but really liked the snow. So Monkey just had to wait until next winter.
