The fifth story written for Newsgrape by 7-year-old Fawzan Siddiqui

There was once a gorilla king.

He had his own servants, a gigantic palace and even a gorilla throne. But there was one problem...he was too greedy! The gorilla king had too much money, he ate 500 bananas a day and he owned way too many things! His servants were getting worried about this so they had a secret meeting.

"The gorilla king is too greedy and we have to put a stop to that."

"Yeah he is getting too greedy." The servants talked a lot about this. Next day the servants talked to the gorilla king. “Your majesty its time you learnt a lesson.” “ You have become too greedy."

"NONSENSE!" shouted the gorilla king.

"But it’s true.” “ You have too much,you eat 500 banannas a day and you have too much money and also you never ever share them!”The gorilla king looked around.Then he thought about this."Well I guess you are right". Muttered the gorilla king."I promise to never be greedy again."

“But first you need to practise NOT being greedy to prove that you promise,” said the servants.

“I will,” said the gorilla king. So he shared his bananas with other gorillas that he met, gave some of his things away and spent some of his money. The gorilla king was never greedy again.  

                              THE END.
