In a tall tree by the river, a monkey watched some fishermen busy at work. He observed them as they tossed their nets into the river and pulled them back filled with fish. When the fishermen decided to go home for lunch, they left their nets on the riverbank.
Upon seeing this, the curious monkey climbed down from his tree. Having observed the fishermen's actions, he believed he could do the same. Determined, he grabbed a net and with a great heave, tossed it into the river.
However, things didn't go according to plan. The net became tangled around the monkey, and despite his efforts, he couldn't free himself. With each struggle, he sank deeper into the river.
As the water closed over him, the monkey realized his mistake. He had overestimated his abilities without any prior experience in fishing. And with that, the monkey disappeared beneath the water.
In a tree that was so tall it could high-five the sky, a monkey sat up there, watching some fishermen down below. They were flinging these big ol' nets into the water and—ta-da!—out came a fishy feast! They were like the kitchen wizards of the river!
Then the fishermen said, "My belly's rumbling. Let's munch!" And they scampered off, leaving their nets as if they were yesterday's socks.
The monkey, thinking he was smarter than a barrel of bananas, went, "Heh, easy-peasy! If they can do it, so can I!" So he swung down the tree, ready to be the next big thing in the fishing world.
He grabbed a net and counted, "One, two, three!" Then—WHOOSH!—he chucked it into the river.
But whoa, Nelly! Things didn't go all fairy-tale-like. Nope, that net decided it liked the monkey so much, it wanted a hug. A really, really tight hug. The monkey's like, "Well, didn't see that one coming!"
No matter how he wiggled and jiggled, doing his best water dance, he was proper stuck. It was like he was wearing a net jumpsuit, and let's just say, it wasn't a fashion statement.
As the water started creeping up, getting all up in his fur, the monkey had his "Uh-oh!" moment. He realized maybe he'd jumped into this net thing without really knowing how nets even work.
And as he started to sink, like a cookie in milk, his last thought was, "Hmm, I guess I'm not having fish for dinner, am I?"
Once by a river, so shiny and clear,
A monkey sat watching, with his ear near.
He saw fishermen casting their nets with delight,
And pulling out fish, oh, what a great sight!
When lunchtime arrived, the men went away,
Leaving their nets where the young fish play.
Monkey thought, "Looks easy! I’ll give it a try!
I’ve seen how it’s done, let’s fish, oh my!"
With excitement, he grabbed a net so wide,
And threw it in the water, with hope inside.
But oh! Things twisted, and turned all wrong,
The net wrapped around him, pulling him along.
He wriggled and waggled, tried to break free,
But deeper he went, down into the sea.
Poor monkey realized, as the river did swell,
“I thought I knew all, but now I can tell…”
Always learn first, before you dive in,
Or you may find trouble, much to your chagrin.
Skills take time, they're not won on a whim,
So practice with care, before you try to swim.
