The sun rises above the Amazon rainforest and the huge, 

evergreen trees allow rays of light to pass between their 

leaves and paint the forest floor in dappled shadows.   In one 

of the taller trees, little monkey Dora is waking up.   Dora is 

a pretty little monkey with brown hair and a long tail.   She 

wishes that she could sleep some more, but there is no time 

to lose.   Today is the day of the big party. 

Monkeys will come from far and wide to attend the party, 

even from neighbouring countries such as Peru and Bolivia.  

The big party, held in the Brazilian part of the Amazon 

Rainforest, is always a very big success.   There is music and 

dancing, and often a monkey will find a mate and fall in 

love.

Dora is very excited because this year she has been asked 

to help the older monkeys of the community with the 

organizing of the party.   This is a very great responsibility 

and there is no time to lose. 

Dora arrives at the meeting early and is very pleased to see her friend Tinga.  

Tinga is an indigenous name meaning ‘of white colour’.   This is the perfect name 

for Dora’s friend as he has white hair and green eyes.   Tinga is a very rare and 

shy monkey, but   when he sees Dora his eyes light up with joy.

The other monkeys often laugh at Tinga’s strange white hair and green eyes, 

but Dora does not like such jokes.   She thinks that her friend is very handsome, 

even though her heart belongs to another monkey called Paco.   Paco is a big, 

strong monkey with thick, black hair who lives in the forest on the very edge of 

Bolivia.

Dora first met Paco at the big party the previous year.   They danced together 

only once but Dora knew then that her heart belonged to him.   She also 

remembers that Paco was arrogant, and that he did not pay her very much 

attention.   He had said that Dora was too young, and that she was always lost 

in her own fantasy world. 

Despite all of this, Dora is looking forward to seeing Paco again, and such 

thoughts make her even more excited about the party.

Chief Ubirajara, a very big and very brave monkey, calls the meeting to order 

and begins to hand out tasks to the assembled monkeys.   Eventually it is Dora’s 

turn to be given her special task for the day, but the little monkey is so lost in 

her own thoughts that she does not hear Chief Ubirajara’s instructions.
