hoarding all of food in the area and they attack any other tribes who travel
into their territory. A monkey from a different tribe approaches Conan and
Tala and asks them to help stop the tribe that are antagonising everyone
around them. Conan agrees and comes up with an idea on how to stop the
main tribe from hoarding all the food and in time teach them to share.
To do this Conan takes some of the food that the smaller tribe stores and
approaches the main group to offer them the food but Congo a young
monkey who is infamous for being mischievous and un-trusting spurs on
that they don’t accept outsiders and starts throwing mud at Conan and Tala
forcing them to back away. While backing away Conan drops some of the
fruit and one of the monkeys from the main pack tries some and realises
that it is tasty and gets the others to try.
The group now want more and pressure Conan for some and he promises
them that there is more of this for them so long as they learn to cooperate
with the other tribes and work together as friends instead of enemies. All
the monkeys agree to this, but Congo sits at the back and keeps quiet as if
he is planning something.

king for him and he should follow them to get back to his family.
nan grabs the round rock and promises to find more if he follows them,
this seems to work. After getting back to the group of Parrots they are
happy to see Mojo is safe. On their journey back Mojo and Conan
ome great friends and returning to the group Mojo asks if he can go
h Conan. The group seem happy with that, and Conan agrees and takes
jo back home with him and Tala.

that now is a good time to declutter and create a headquarter with areas to
sleep. They start off inspecting the shack to see what looks okay and what
needs fixed.
The first course of action is to remove all the clutter from inside before
getting Leaves and other foliage for the beds. Each person is dedicated a
task that better suits their strengths which means Mojo is sent away to
search for big leaves and small sticks from the trees, Tala is sent away get
some larger pieces of wood that can be used to give the beds structure and
Conan is tasked with removing all of the clutter from the inside to make
space for the improvements and to remove the excess foliage growing
outside.
Time passes until these tasks are completed so they begin building their
beds until the sun goes where they then have time to look at their hard
work with some appreciation before quickly going to bed for the night.

roaches the group and asks for their help as there has been an
lanche in the mountains and one of the leopards has trapped in the cave

he mountain as quickly as possible.
ce they arrive at the mountain Conan notices that the situation is looking
te severe, so he decides that the best course of action is to split up, so
sends Mojo up into the air to act as surveillance and sends Tala away to
the help of some polar bears. The snow leopard leader also sends off
other leopards away with Tala as they have a good relationship with the
ar bears as they coexist in the same area.
ile waiting for Tala and the other leopards to come back Mojo flies back
n and lets Conan know that there is a gap in the snow up above, after
ring this Conan comes up with an idea of how to free the leopard. Tala
the other leopards come back with a group of polar bears and Conan
ediately instructs them to dig at the bottom of the pile so that the snow
fall away making a bigger opening for the trapped leopard to escape.

is in a cave where Fennec foxes were living. After arriving Conan
immediately starts asking what only to be told nobody has any idea, they
just woke up and the fire was already blazing, but they don’t know what
happened.
While being told this Conan spots Congo peeking his head around the
corner so Conan decides to approach him and asks if he knew what
happened. Congo looks up at him and immediately starts apologising
saying it was only meant to be a joke and he never wanted to cause harm.
Conan encourages him to apologise to the Fennecs and ask for their
forgiveness.
The fennecs accept his apology but only on the condition that he helps
them put out the fire and clean up and fix the damage it has caused and
promises to never do this again. Congo agrees to this and throughout
helping he gains the respect of everyone involved before quickly turning
and running away.

ds them into the jungle where they find a trail of round pebbles and after
owing the trail of pebbles and his smell, they eventually find Mojo
owing the trail clearly laid out to entice him.
tead of stopping him Tala and Conan decide to just follow Mojo and see
ere the trail leads him to. Eventually the trail suddenly ends at the
tom of a tree, they watch as Mojo looks around confused. Suddenly a
ce comes down from above saying “you’ve finally made it” as Congo

can all come together and spread the lifestyles and techniques that they all
use when surviving in day-to-day life. To set up the party Mojo is tasked
with going back to his family and to ask them if they can help with flying
around the island and inviting everyone to come.
Tala is tasked with going back to the snow leopards to ask if they can help
and come along with helping to set up the party and travelling around the
island spreading the word. Conan travels into the jungle to meet Congo and
invite him and his tribe along to the party and to ask if they can help him
with foraging some fruits and plants that can be used in the party. Upon
getting back to the shack the trio begin the preparations, but they struggle
with some of the higher to reach areas and this is where Congo comes back
and offers to help with the preparations high up in the trees.
Slowly animals from all around begin to show up and the area becomes
quite lively, and the party goes on without a problem until Congo who was
trying to show off falls out of the trees and falls through the roof of the
shack that the trio were living in. Everyone turns to look at where the large
sound had come from, and they see Congo slowly walk through the door
with his head down causing everyone to start laughing hysterically. After
they all calm down from laughing everyone bands together to fix the roof as
a thanks for all that the trio have done for them.

early in the day and the trio have just woken up, TALA has walked off on
daily morning stroll, MOJO has flown up into the trees to look for some

the front door.
Conan

shoulder and Tala bolts back out from the jungle.
Tala

Spot
