The Monkey and the Crocodile

It was a beautiful lake surrounded by lush green grasses, beautiful trees, mountains and
sweetest, tastiest apple trees. There lived a monkey on one of the apple trees located near the
lake.

The lake also had a few crocodiles. There was one crocodile that used to collect the apple
fruits from the lake that fall from the tree.

As the crocodile visits the apple trees every day, it became friends with Monkey. Crocodile
and monkey met every day. The monkey helped crocodile by providing more and fresh apple
fruits from the tree. Their relationship continued and they became close pals.
The crocodile asked the monkey, ‘Can I have some these apples for my family? I’m sure they
will happy eat these fruit’. ‘Sure, my friend, just take a lot of these apples for your family’
His wife was so happy and surprised that she never ate so delicious fruits, so far. The
crocodile’s wife asked the crocodile, ‘ Where did you get these tasty fruit?’. The crocodile
replied, ‘These are from my best friend, monkey, he is very kind and he lives in a apple tree’.

The wife crocodile made a plan in her mind. She asked her husband, ‘Does your friend eat
these fruits every day?’ The crocodile replied yes. She added, ‘Oh my goodness. These are
the sweetest fruits we ever ate. Imagine how delicious the monkey’s heart would be if he eat
these fruits daily! I need the heart of your friend. Can you please bring it for me?’

The crocodile was shocked to hear it from his wife. He replied, ‘But he is my close friend. I
can’t do this to him.’
The wife crocodile told him, ‘don’t worry. You bring him here. I will then take care! Or else,
you may try to push him down into the water if he doesn’t know swimming!’
After a long time, the crocodile agreed to bring monkey to his wife.
The very next day, crocodile invited monkey to join them for lunch and asked for his favorite
foods. Monkey happily agreed to be the guest and but worried that the monkey did not know
how to swim in the lake.
Crocodile on thinking about monkey’s sorrow, pleased monkey and told him, ‘Don’t worry. I
will carry you on my back and will take you back safely too!’
The monkey accepted and crocodile rode him to his home on his back on the water. As they
reached half way, the crocodile tried to push monkey down into the water. ‘Why do you keep
push me down into the water? Pleas tell me the truth why you do that’.
And then the crocodile told the truth, ‘I’m sorry monkey, I believe you as my best friend, I
told that to my wife, but my wife need your heart’.
The intelligent monkey said, ‘Oh my dear friend, you should have told me this earlier. I left
my heart on one of the branches of the tree as I won’t carry it if I travel long. If you take me
back, I can give you my heart.’
Crocodile accepted and rode the monkey back to the lake. As they reached the tree where the
monkey lived, the monkey climbed quickly and escaped from the crocodile.
He shouted at crocodile, ‘I thought you as a good friend, but you cheated me. I will never
come back and never be your friend.’
The crocodile understood his mistake and returned back home empty handed, losing a good
friend indeed.

The Monkey and The Crocodile

One day there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile so he
asked the crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agree and told
the monkey to jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on
his top.

Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river and said to
the monkey, “My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be
healthy again.”

At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a
good idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the
crocodile. “Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near
some coconuts in the river bank.”

The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as
they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up
to the top of a tree.

“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile. “You are foolish,” said the monkey to the
crocodile. “Now I am free and I have my heart.”
