Tarzan

1a) The Story of Tarzan

Read and listen to the story of Tarzan.

Tarzan lives in the jungle in Africa. He has a lot of friends. His best friend is a monkey called Cheetah. Tarzan likes living in the jungle. He is very happy.

Jane is a photographer. She lives in London but today she is in the jungle. She wants to take photographs of monkeys. Jane is travelling with a guide called Clayton. He is not a nice person. He is a hunter. He is also an expert on surviving in the jungle. Jane doesn’t know that Clayton’s favourite food is monkey!

One day Tarzan and Jane meet in the jungle. Tarzan likes Jane and Jane likes Tarzan. But Jane doesn’t like Tarzan’s smell! Tarzan never washes his body, cleans his teeth or combs his hair!

So, Tarzan needs help from his animal friends. He needs to learn about personal hygiene. The elephant teaches him to wash his body. The crocodile teaches him to clean his teeth. The lion teaches him to comb his hair.

Meanwhile, someone needs to teach Clayton that killing animals for fun is not nice! Maybe Mister Crocodile has an idea…
