615. The Rainbow Waterfall

The roaring waterfall greets the morning sun as it peeks up from over the trees the falling water sparkles as it falls creating small rainbows over the lake and river far below The song of the parrots awakens the monkeys that live on the east side of the ravine their shrieks of play scatter the birds rising up in a colourful cloud The older primates grab the thick green vines to swing to the forest of banana trees living on the west side of the ravine a perilous journey that has claimed many lives as it is easy to slip and fall into the water below For the younger ones it is a time to play as their parents will bring them food to eat many will practice on the highest branches for the time when they will need to fend for themselves At sunset the elephants will come to the lake far below to drink and bathe in the water not leaving until darkness falls going home by the light of the moon
