"Hey, Maddy, are you going to watch the puppet show with me?" Coco crow asked Maddy monkey, who was sitting on the tree. Maddy immediately agreed to go.

"But how do we get there? The puppet show is in an empty field at the end of the forest," Maddy said.

"I have wings so I will fly. If you have them too, then fly with me. Otherwise, get down from the tree and start running towards the field," giggled Coco.

Before getting down from the tree, Maddy looked around for any danger. When he didn't see anyone, he got down and made his way to the puppet show. However, he didn't know that Cindy cheetah was watching him from the bushes. As soon as Maddy walked a little further, Cindy caught him.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm running late for the puppet show. Let me go!" Maddy pleaded with Cindy.

But Cindy wasn't going to let him go.

"Oh! Cindy has caught Maddy! I must do something to save him!"

Coco saw Maddy in trouble and called his fellow crows by calling out: "caw-caw." Together, they attacked Cindy.

After being attacked by so many crows, Cindy panicked and left Maddy who was happy to escape.

Later, he calmly watched the puppet show and was surrounded by many animals.

While returning home, Maddy faced the same problem again. He was in danger of being attacked. Somehow, he ran and escaped by climbing his tree, and heaved a sigh of relief.

This made Coco think. Many small animals were attacked outside the forest. It was getting dangerous for them to move around. Some monkeys did not come down at all and travelled by swinging from one branch to another. Seeing this, an idea struck his bright mind.

Why don't we build a vehicle using ropes to go from one tree to another? There are so many trees in the forest, he thought.
