Mika, the monkey, perched on a high branch, watched Ellie the elephant enjoying her mud bath below. The mischievous glint in Mika's eyes was unmistakable. "This will be hilarious!" He whispered to himself, carefully climbing down to tie Ellie's tail to a sturdy tree trunk with a vine.

Ellie trumpeted loudly, her eyes wide with alarm. Mika giggled from a safe distance, his laughter echoing through the jungle. The ruckus drew a crowd of curious animals, all gathering around Ellie to see what the fuss was about.

"Don't worry, Ellie, I'll help!" Freddie announced, his voice confident. He climbed up the tree with nimble leaps, using his sharp teeth to nibble at the vine until it snapped. Ellie was finally free and trumpeted joyfully.

Guilt crept into Mika's heart as he realized the trouble he had caused. "Maybe I went too far this time," Mika mused, his tail drooping slightly.

Mika decided he needed to apologize, but not just with words. "I'll throw a party!" He exclaimed, his spirits lifting. He envisioned a grand gathering where all the animals could enjoy and where he could make amends to Ellie and thank Freddie.

Mika welcomed the animals with a wide grin, his heart full of hope. Ellie arrived, her large feet thumping softly on the ground. "I'm really sorry, Ellie," Mika confessed, offering her a bouquet of fresh bananas. "As long as you learned something, Mika," Ellie replied with a forgiving smile. The party began, laughter and music filling the air, restoring harmony in the jungle once more.
