The Monkey and the Crocodile

  • A monkey lived happily on a fruit tree by the river. He became friends with a crocodile and often gave him sweet fruits.
  • The crocodile’s wife grew greedy and demanded the monkey’s heart to eat.
  • The crocodile invited the monkey to his home, planning to drown him mid-river.
  • Sensing danger, the monkey cleverly said, “Oh! I left my heart on the tree. Take me back and I’ll fetch it.”
  • The foolish crocodile swam back, and the monkey quickly climbed the tree, safe forever.
  • Moral: Wit can save your life in dangerous times.
