Plot

The story revolves around a child-like monkey who has lost her mother in the deep, thick, hot jungle. The monkey is then assisted to find her mother by a butterfly, who tries to think of whereabouts in the jungle she might be. However, the butterfly keeps suggesting incorrect animals as the monkey's mother, including an elephant, a snake, a spider, a parrot, a frog and a bat. Eventually, the butterfly and the monkey find the monkey's Dad, who says, "Come, little monkey, come, come, come, it's time I took you home to..." and then shortly after another call, Butterfly finds the monkey's lost mother and the monkey is happy again, as well as the butterfly.
