There were three boys and three girls hiding in the African jungle. Suddenly, they were kidnapped by a monkey. The monkey’s name was Ape.

They were scared. “What is going on?’

[By Bill Condon, Author]

The chittering of monkeys surrounded them. They sprang from every tree, crowding around the children, herding them into the jungle. Then there was a deep gurgling sound, and pounding footsteps, thudding into the ground – STOMP – STOMP – STOMP. The children gazed in terrified awe at the creature before them. It was half gorilla – half man. It was covered in spiky bristles. It was huge. It was staring at them. And they were too scared to move.

He took them back to the monkey’s tree-house. It got darker and darker. The children were locked in a big den at the bottom of the tree-house. They kept banging on the bamboo door.

‘HELP”

Nobody heard them except the other animals.

Who is going to help them now?
