Under the deep canopy, in the foggy, moist air, rested Marly. He was a middle sized monkey with a very witty brain. Little does he know, his mind will help him save his friend and himself. Harry was Marly's friend, a happy hag fish living in a swamp nearby his monkey fellow. They were dependent on each other to carry news from their ecosystems for their survival. One night, in Harry's habitat, Al, a sleepy azotobacter, was searching for a place to stay. "Wow, this place is great! I'm really psyched to move in here as soon as I get a taste of this water," Al was thinking to himself, "and then, maybe I could start remodeling the spaces around me." He breathed in the musky water and smiled to himself. I believe this will be easier to change than I thought," he chucked as he was talking about his surroundings. He was an unwelcome neighbor to Harry, because if he will start spreading his mold, which was his intention to do, the poor hag fish would choke from the pond pollution and might possibly perish. While Harry was on the lookout for his new neighbor, Ben, Marly was in the canopy sleeping. All of a sudden, he woke up with a startle. He heard some noises and asked who was there. "Hello, who is this?" With a quivering voice he questioned his unknown predator. He heard a growl in reply. Told by his instincts, Marly climbed to the top of the tree and sat there still. "I'll catch you sometime later, you little barnacle!" It was the jaguar's final words before he disappeared. Marly just waited until morning, so that he could climb down and tell Harry what happened. Harry had news of his own to tell Marly that he was strongly concerned about. Last night, when his ugly new neighbor visited for a friendly "Hello", Harry almost died of the greasy substance that was around him. Shocked to hear what happened, Molly decided to come up with a plan. First, we should remove you from your shelter," suggested Marly, "then-" "Wait- I can't breathe air, I only live in water, remember?" Harry interrupted Marly, reminding him that his first plan wouldn't work. "All right, what about plan B?" Asked Marly. "I think we should try to poison Al by me going to fetch some line juice, which I will squeeze, and pouring it on contaminated areas of your shelter. Then, as the pollution disappears, you'll live happy again, right? But first, you ought to move elsewhere because it should take probably about one and a half nights to disinfect your surroundings," was also Marly's suggestions. What Harry replied was, " You know, how can I live without you? I think you're a genius!" "Well, these brains ain't for nothing, are they?" exclaimed Marly, filled with self-pride. Next morning, Marly was ready, on a mission. "I'll teach that Al a lesson!" He thought, "If anyone messes with Harry, they are to mess with me also!" The air was moist and warm around him, very pleasant climate for a monkey, but perfect for reproduction of all kinds of bacteria and slime. Suzzie, a voluptuous grown slime mould, has decided to reproduce on this beautiful day. She was thinking to herself. "If I settle near the pond here nearby, my offspring shall have a constant warm climate with wet atmosphere. Plus, who knows, maybe they'll live in the water too when they'll grow up to be like me." So, it was settled about to jump in the water now, where Harry was anxiously waiting. He had the lime juice and as he was ready to dive in, a force made he rubbed the line juice right where it needed to be. Unfortunately, biomyx named Ben was contaminating his right arm in the same moment. Harry was much pleased with Marly's work. "Without you, I would not have survived," praised Harry to Marly. For a celebration, Marly reached out for Bob the banyan tree, and offered some to Harry. "Yum! This is good," Harry commented on this new food that Marly enjoys daily. " I told you it's the "bee's knees!" Finally, you listened," said the satisfied monkey. What they didn't know was Ben, who climbed on Marly's arm was now threatening to kill Bob. With this work. "All right, what about Bob?" Asked Marly. "I think we should try to poison Al by me going to fetch some lime juice, which I will squeeze, and pouring it on contaminated pollution disappears, you'll live happy again, right? But first, you ought to move elsewhere because it should take probably about one and was also Marly's suggestions. What Harry replied was,"You know, how can I live without you? I think you're a genius!" "Well these brains ain't for nothing, are they?" exclaimed Marly, filled with self-pride. Next morning, Marly was ready, on a mission. "If anyone messes with Harry, they are to mess with me also!" The air was moist and warm around him, very pleasant climate for a monkey, but perfect for reproduction of all kinds of bacteria and slime. Suzzie, a voluptuous grown slime mould, has decided to reproduce on this beautiful day. She was thinking to herself, "If I settle near the pond here nearby, my offspring shall have a constant deadly viruses, Bob was bound to die in a week. So, because of Marly's careless mistake, his friend and himself were going to die sort of soon. Sadly, there wasn't an answer Marly could find for this problem now. He didn't realize there were other trees so he spent his final days with Harry, talking and starving together for life. It's ironic, really, but it's life that makes this an original relationship between them. However, new babies of Marly and Harry were born. Although they didn't live off to see them grow, at least they gave birth to them. Humans disinfected the pond and exterminated Al and pulled of the slime mould, Suzzie. People also planted many more banyan trees so the off springs of Marly could be well fed. As for ben, well, he was never heard of again.
