A New House

It was a pleasant spring season, and many colourful flowers were in full bloom

Farah fox was roaming around the forest, enjoying their fragrance. Suddenly, she overheard the monkeys, Jojo and Jingo, talking on a tree.

"Ma will be so happy seeing this!" Jojo said.

"Yes, and we'll all stay together happily!" said Jingo.

Farah wanted to know what the two brothers were talking about, so she went and stood under the tree.

"Let's give the east-facing room to Ma. She wakes up and salutes the sun every morning," Jingo said.

"All right, so we'll take the opposite room. It has a river view, and we love watching the river," Jojo said.

"We'll set up a small garden in front of the house to keep the air clean and provide a view of some greenery," Jingo said.

Then the two brothers noticed Farah and signalled each other to keep quiet.

When Farah did not hear anything further for some time, she left. She was curious and wanted to know what they were talking about and why they were keeping it a secret.

She followed them every day and three or four days later, she overheard Jojo talking to someone on the phone.
