Junior can climb faster and higher than any other boy in his neighbourhood. There is nothing he enjoys more than climbing his neighbours' fruit trees to steal their apples, mangoes, oranges, June plums and guineps when they are away from home. His mother and Mr. Roy warn him to stop but he does not listen.
One day, Junior ends up “biting off more than he can chew” because of his disobedience. The lesson he learns is one that can serve as an example to other little boys just like him.
