Once upon a time there was a lonely Bengal Tiger , who was the king of the jungle (as there were no lions in Siberia). He wandered around with a very sad frown on his face. He said to himself, " I wish I had some friends".
At that time Samantha and Kevin (little baby monkeys) were swinging above Harry (that is the tiger's name). So Kevin and Samantha went back home and told their dad, Jacko. Next day Kevin and Jacko went out swinging from the treetops trying to find Harry a friend.
20 minutes later Kevin suddenly stopped and called Jacko, Jacko went over and there stood 2 leopards and a cub. Kevin and Jacko swung over to them, Jacko asked them where they were going. They answered by saying they were trying to find somewhere to live because in Sri Lanka their forest had burnt down. Kevin and Jacko lead the leopards to the part of which Harry was in. They got to Harry at 5:00 (1 hour) Harry was delighted to see these three leopards, though at first it was very surprising.
"Where are you from?" asked Harry.
"We are from the town Keya laleya in Sri Lanka" replied the male leopard, Scar. "Are you going to stay here with me and the monkeys?"
"Yye…"
Before Loren (the female leopard) could finish what she was going to say, Harry butted in.
"Oh, you don't eat monkeys do you? Because some leopards do."
"Of course we don't and we will stay here with you and the other animals"
So the tiger had some friends, but he was still sad.
"Why are you so sad?" Asked Lela ( the leopard cub)
"You are all great but I want loads of friends, to fill my empty jungle up"
So off went Kevin and Jacko, this time Samantha went to. After 7 hours they gave up it was 11:00 PM. Everybody went to sleep.

Next morning there was a knock at the monkeys wooden door. "knock knock, knock knock ." Samantha opened the door and screamed.
"aaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhh" screamed Samantha. Jacko came running in his dressing gown and fury slippers.
"What's the matter ?"
"Look !there are loads of animals. There are 2 guanaco ( small camels, have no humps ), a Chinese Muntjac ( a deer sort of thing) and 3 Okapi's ( it has a brown body and Zebra legs and a giraffe head)".
"Oh, um are you here to see the tiger?" asked Samantha
"Yes, we heard that there was a jungle and a tiger was a king" replied Danny the Chinese Muntjac
"Why, don't you like lions as kings?"
"No way, the last one killed my brother because he ate a grape to many."
So Kevin and Samantha lead the animals to Harry. Harry was delighted in many ways they all talked the 3 leopards, the 2 Guanaco's, the Chinese Muntjac, the 3 Okapi's and the tiger. Harry found out all their names: the leopards are Scar, Loren and Lela, the 2 Guanaco's names are Jenny and Fiona, the Chinese Muntjac is called Danny and the 3 Okapi's names are Toni ( girl) Jessica and Millie. So they all went to Harry's Den and had a cup of tea. The monkeys went home and got changed.

The Next week some Elephants past the monkeys home and went into the tigers den. The same afternoon the monkeys went to meet the elephants there were 2, a mum called Donna and a baby called Ele. So they stayed and lived in the jungle with the other animals. A few days later Ele went for a walk down to the lake but on the way, she got lost and started to cry. The next thing she new she was being pounced on by a snow leopard.
"Aagghh" screamed Ele
"What's the matter?" asked the snow leopard
"Your going to eat me" stuttered Ele
"Don't be silly, I was going to ask why you were crying. I only pounced on you because it was quicker than walking or running over here"
"Oh, I'm crying because I'm lost. I live over in the jungle with King Harry the Tiger." Sobbed Ele
"You mean king Harry the lion" said Benni
"No he's a tiger there aren't any lion's in Siberia" said Ele
"Oh if I take you to the jungle, could you introduce me to this tiger?" asked Benni
"Yeah, sure" replied Ele.

So Benni took Ele back to the jungle and Ele introduced Harry and Benni They got friendly and now they are friends. After a week and 4 days the lonely tiger was no more…
