Chapter 3 A Big Scolding
Banana didn’t speak but carefully picked Vynilla up and took her away. The frogs gulped as if they were about to go to the bottom of the sea and never come up. Banana took Vynilla back to the jungle and didn’t speak to Vynilla. The jungle was big but Banana could find his way home. Banana put Vynilla on the magical jungle leaf. The magical jungle leaf is seven feet long.
Vynilla awoke startled and confused. As she questioned the monkey, she figured out what happened and why Banana was upset.
“Banana, why did you take me away from Owly and the 6 frogs?” Vynilla shyly asked.
“They’re useless!” Banana answered. “Besides, they let you almost drown,” Banana added.
After two hours it was dinnertime. Banana gave Vynilla bananas, pomegranates, and pineapple. Vynilla ate them up quickly and then she laid down on a leaf. She looked up at the sky but the sky didn’t look promising. It looked dark and only a couple of stars were in the sky that night. There was a sliver of a moon but no light coming from it because there was no light in Vynilla. She had a cold heart and was longing to see the rest of her friends. Vynilla dozed off and when she awoke, Banana was gone. Vynilla looked around and saw a lady monkey. After questioning the lady monkey just as she had done to Banana, she figured out that Banana had left to visit her friends and was leaving his sister, Polly, to watch over Vynilla. Vynilla sighed. It just didn’t seem fair. So what if Owly and the frogs made a mistake. Vynilla thought about her life and thought it wouldn’t have been so bad if she had drowned. She might find out what her parents were like and she would never have to wonder anymore. And she would never have to worry about shelter or about eating. And she would never -
Suddenly Banana appeared and interrupted her thoughts. “Well, I guess Vynilla won’t see her friends again.” This certainly disturbed Vynilla and set off a new bundle of thoughts. As these thoughts flew by, they were interrupted again by Banana saying it was lunchtime. For lunch Vynilla had pomegranates on a mint leaf and after she was finished with the pomegranates she ate the mint leaf. Vynilla’s thoughts went by all day until it was dinner. Then Vynilla didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t think, she couldn’t eat. She was bored. So all Vynilla did after dinner was sleep.
