Welcome back to The Katha Lantern!
On this journey, we read a Lantern Letter from Lucas about solving furious arguments before the fun disappears. When a magnificent watermelon sits in the middle of a dusty path, Ginger the orange cat and Susie the white cat are both determined to claim the prize! They cannot figure out how to share, until a clever monkey named Monty brings a weighing scale to "help." But when the scale keeps tipping, Monty takes a giant, delicious bite to balance it! Wait... did he just eat their treat?!
Turn off the bright screens, get cozy, and join Rutu to see if this monkey is playing a sneaky trick!
🎨 The Katha Canvas: Little explorers, grab your magical congé canvas and your brightest colors! For our gallery this time, you have three super fun choices to draw from our jungle adventure:

Monty the Monkey with a very sneaky smile!
✨ For the Grown-Ups: Parents, snap a picture of your child's masterpiece (don't forget to include their name and age!) and send it to us via DM on Instagram at @TheKathaLantern. We would be thrilled to add it to our glowing community Katha Canvas Highlights gallery!
