Miko climbs slowly up the tree. He climbs to the big branch. He climbs to the treetops to the small branches. He looks down at the river. Then he jumps. He falls but reaches out for a small branch. He catches it. He jumps again. This time he jumps across to the tree on the other side.

"Look!" shout his brothers and sisters. "Look at Miko!"
They smile and clap as Miko climbs down the tree.

Miko looks around. He sees some banana trees and takes the bananas. He throws them across the water to his family. Then he finds more fruit and throws the fruit across to his family too.
