The monkeys tried jumping over it, but the tree was too wide. They tried climbing around it, but the branches were too tangled. Frustration grew, and many monkeys gave up.
But not Milo. He sat quietly, thinking and observing the tree. Milo noticed that some of the vines hanging above the tree were strong enough to hold their weight. An idea sparked in his mind. Using his cleverness, Milo tied the vines together to create a bridge that the monkeys could use to swing over the fallen tree.
When the other monkeys saw what Milo had done, they were impressed. “You solved the problem, Milo!” they cheered. “We couldn’t have gotten past it without your thinking.”
Milo smiled and said, “Sometimes, the answer isn’t about strength or speed. It’s about using your mind to find a different way.”
The lesson: Creativity and problem-solving can overcome obstacles when strength and speed can’t. Like Milo, if you think outside the box, you can find solutions to even the toughest problems.
