Mali and the Balancing Act

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Mali was sitting in the fork of the tree in the forest where she could see everything that was happening. She could see the vines looping from tree to tree that she loved to swing on, she could see the ants crawling up the trunk of the tree like a line of soldiers, she could see the sun shining through the leaves of the tree and she could see the baby monkeys with the mothers, cuddling and grooming each other.

Mali likes to watch everything around her quietly, and then sprint into action and make some mischief.

Mali waited til all the monkeys weren't looking and leapt from her quiet spot onto the longest vine and swung as hard as she could down from the top of the tree, down further towards the forest floor where the baby moneys were all but asleep as she whooshed pasted the baby monkeys Mali called out in her loudest voice "wake up little ones and come and play with me!"

The baby monkeys stirred in their mothers arms and scampered off to play with Mali.

mali was teaching them how to balance, standing on one leg, first she slowly lifted her leg up so that her foot was on her opposite knee and then she raised her arms above her head.

Some of the baby monkeys copied Mali and the very littlest monkey that had a tiny white patch on top of her head,  stood next to Mali and as she wibbled and wobbled trying to copy Mali balancing on one leg fell onto Mali and all the monkeys who had been trying so hard to balance fell down.

Mali and all the monkeys giggled and laughed and decided that they'd try the Balancing Act again every day til they could do it.
