The morning sun is rising high,
lighting up the African sky.
The forest welcomes a brand new day,
inviting its creatures to wake up and play.
Among the trees
are lots of nests,
where chimpanzees sleep
to get their rest.
A chimp
named Ayo
does not
delay—he
springs to his
feet, ready
to play.

He scampers to a nearby tree,
where his best friend, Neo,
is still catching zzz’s.
Poking, patting, bending an ear—
it’s Ayo’s way of saying, “Wake up, I’m here!”
Neo opens his big, brown eyes,
ready for the day’s surprise.
