Synopsis

The animals are fed up with Monkey's teasing, so they decide to teach him a lesson. Each time he begins to tease them, his words are suddenly whisked away - Flying Fox drops a passion fruit on top of them; Toucan flies away with them; Jaguar's tail washes them away. Suddenly, Monkey realizes it's no fun at all playing on his own. But just as he's about to say 'sorry', Crocodile snaps up his word - well, nearly. That's a word everyone needs!
