Birthday Gift From Baboon

Baboon was tasked by community that he gives to orphans birthday gift consisting of clusters of ripe bananas Earnestly he received the gift package halfway to orphanage of the little ones he sat down among trees and ate all of it Neatly he packed back peelings in basket and moved smartly with shameful steps with the saliva continuing to flow and flow As he gave the package, peelings dropped hosts asked; “what trash do you bring here”? But the baboon answered loudly with pride; “Ask king of the forests no such question those who live not in forests, are cowards sweetness of bananas is a thing I can’t share”
