Positive:

Smiling and jeering at one another, monkeys play on top of the windy jungle. Not wanting to be the tiger leaping on the ground, the wacky monkeys leap to the crystal blue sky. Floating party animals and silly shapes soaring through the sky amuse themselves watching them leapfrog across the smooth wood and crawl through the colourful tunnels. The bright cherry red and happy yellow tree branches standing strong and sturdy for the monkeys to grab a hold of. Leaping and twirling, they make their way up and across, slipping through gaps and jiggling their way past one another, shouting with glee. Fortunately for the tiger, one of the monkeys is unable to keep their giggling to themselves and can’t flutter away from the tiger in time, so it stretches out and tags the child. Finally the tiger can join in on top of the windy jungle while the giggling little girl has to leap to the floor and become a tiger soaring to the sky.

Negative:

Pointing and jeering at one another, monkeys scramble on top of the lethal jungle. Not wanting to be the tiger leaping on the ground, the monkeys climb to the grey sky. Wild animals and sharp shapes dominate the sky looking down on the monkeys scrambling on top of the splintering wood and crawling through the long narrow tunnels. The alarming red and yellow tree branches peeling away it’s old dull colours having the monkeys search for some kind of possible grip. Twisting and darting, they make their way up and across, slipping through the too small gaps and snaking their way past one another, shouting with such noise you wonder who has been hurt. Unfortunately, one of the monkeys is unable to keep going and can’t scramble away from the deadly tiger in time, so it stretches out and attacks the child. All of the child’s pleading goes to waste as it’s now not a girl but a deadly tiger. Finally the tiger can steal her place on top of the lethal jungle while the whiny little girl has to drop to the floor and become a tiger.
