Ellea and the City

Ellea und die Stadt

There are days when you can hear the fish whispering if you put your ear very close to the surface of the great ocean.

In the past, the monkeys still lived in tree hollows on the mountain. Then they moved down to the city. Only monkey Ellea didn’t. While the city monkeys are super busy, constantly having calls and meetings and zooming, she sits on a branch and looks into the distance. Until she discovers that a fire is breaking out in the city.
