Once upon a time, in a jungle full of trees and vines, There lived a little monkey, who loved to swing and climb. One sunny day, while jumping from branch to branch, The monkey saw a dog, with a wagging tail and a happy dance.

Curiosity struck the monkey, so he called out with glee, 'Hello there, Mr. Dog! Would you like to play with me?' The dog paused and barked, 'Why, I would love to, my new friend!', They played hide and seek and chased their tails without end.

But as they played, the monkey noticed something quite wise, The dog was always attentive and listened with big, round eyes. The monkey asked the dog, 'How do you listen so well?' The dog replied, 'I focus on your words, it's a gift, I can tell!'

The monkey realized the importance of listening with care, To understand others' feelings, it's a treasure to share. So the monkey and the dog became the best of friends, With good listening, their friendship would never have ends.

From that day forward, the monkey learned a lesson so true, To be a good friend, listening is what you must do. So remember this tale, my dear little friends, Listen with your heart, and your friendship never ends!
