Little Monkey drew a picture of his mother. He took it home from school to give it to her. He was so proud of his drawing.
Along the way, he saw his friend, Owl. Owl said, “What a beautiful picture! Just one thing – the eyes should be a little larger.”
So, Little Monkey made the eyes a little larger.

“I love it!” his mother said. “Just the way it is.”
