At that time, Big Bongo, the monkey, decided to move to a new house. Jemima was so curious about the new house. One night she walked quietly to Big Bongo’s bedroom window. The window was open and she put her head inside. She was just on time to see Big Bongo leaving the bedroom. So, Jemima put her head further in so that she could follow him to the next room. It was dark in the house and she couldn’t see very well. But she followed Big Bongo into another room and then another...

At last Jemima couldn’t follow Big Bongo anymore. Her neck wasn’t long enough. Big Bongo run around his house, and Jemima’s neck was in a tangle (绕成一团).
