Le singe et le serpent

Il était une fois un singe un peu gourmand. Il s`appelait Jokolime et avait neuf ans. Jokolime adorait manger des feuilles d`oranger. Un jour, un serpent menacant s`approche de lui. Il va le mordre quand Jokolime le voit. Le singe l`entoure de feuilles d`oranger et réussit à s`enfuir.
