Story Let us read.

The Smart Monkey
One day Anju and Farida went to the market. Anju bought a bag and Farida bought a
water bottle. Later, they went to a shop and bought a packet of groundnuts and a

bottle of juice.
They felt tired. They sat on a bench under a tree to rest. There was a monkey on the
branch of the tree above them.
Farida and Anju did not see the monkey. They took out their food from the bag and
began to eat. The monkey had a banana. He peeled the banana and ate it. Farida and
Anju took out the groundnuts and started eating. They threw the packet down. Then
they drank the juice and threw down the bottle.

Just then, the monkey climbed down the tree with the banana peel. There was a
dustbin nearby. The monkey threw the banana peel into the dustbin.
Farida and Anju saw this and felt ashamed. They picked up the packet and the
empty bottle and threw them into the dustbin.

Read the story aloud.
The monkey puts his banana peel in the dustbin. The girls see this and do the same.
