At the Meeting Center with Mickey the monkey
This is a story about a friendly monkey whose name is Mickey. Mickey the monkey lives in a special
place called Eden Forest where a group of Special Eden Creatures live there around Eden Pond.
Mickey likes to the helpful to Eden Creatures, but he has a slight problem that bothers him.
Early, one cloudy autumn morning Mickey the monkey went for a stroll in Eden Forest. As time passes,
Mickey noticed dark gray storm clouds weaving their way through the skies. A drizzle begins to
fall and Mickey asks, "What’s that?!" He cried loudly, "It's going to rain? What can I do? Where
can I go? Does anybody here enjoy that loud thunder?"
As he approaches Eden Pond, Mickey meets up with his best friend, Zippity, and they continue the
journey together.

Zippity the bluebird felt bad for Mickey, the monkey and tells him, "I know just how you feel. I once
felt terrible because I hadn't learned to fly, but my whole life changed for the better once I overcame
my fears. I wish there was some way I could help you."
"You are helping me," said the Mickey the monkey: "A friend in need is a friend in deed." As they
arrived to Eden Pond, all the Special Eden Creatures joined Mickey and Zippity in the conversation.
"You should know," Deborah the bee interjected patiently, "We have a lot of fruit trees nearby and you
can live in any tree you want. You'll have to get used to the rain and thunder, we all need water to
live."
Suddenly, the Special Eden Creatures hear a thunderous booming and see lightning streaking upon the
heavens.
Mickey the monkey was shaking with fear and started to shout, "Di.. did.. you hear that big boom, m..
may.. maybe some hunter is shooting at us!"
Hanna the stork kind of mumbles, "there's no reason to be afraid of the rain."

Mickey the monkey, explained, "It's hard to believe, but ever since I was a child, whenever the drops
started to come down I would jump from tree to tree in order to avoid a drop falling on me. Even
though that the rains fall everywhere at once!"
Debby the bee tried to encourage Mickey the monkey, "Listen Mickey, the plants, the ponds and the
rivers are thirsty for the rains. Thunder is like drums announcing a lot of happiness to the world."
Gerry the giraffe, who usually kept his neck straight, bends down until he is eye level with Mickey the
monkey, "I have an idea for you," he offered. All the Special Eden Creatures joined Gerry and said
in unison, "Go to the one creature who knows everything; Ollie the Wise Old Owl."

Ollie, the owl sleeps all day. He can see far into the distance with his big round eyes. Owls have a
very special hoot that can be heard everywhere in Eden Forest. Ollie the wise old owl always asks
many questions. "Who?", "when?", "where?", "what?", and "why?" He always knows exactly what to
do in every situation.
Zippity the bluebird and Mickey the monkey set out to Ollie's old oak tree with the setting of the sun.
The rest of the forest animals were getting ready to go to sleep.
