“Once upon a time, a monkey lived happily on a tree full of sweet fruits near a river. He enjoyed eating the juicy berries every day.”
“One day, the monkey saw a lonely crocodile in the river. Out of kindness, he gave him berries. Soon, they became good friends.”
“The crocodile’s wife tasted the berries and said, ‘If these fruits are so sweet, the monkey’s heart must be even sweeter. I want to eat it!’”
“To please his wife, the crocodile invited the monkey to his home. The monkey trusted his friend and sat on his back.”
“In the middle of the river, the crocodile revealed the truth – ‘My wife wants to eat your heart.’ The monkey was terrified but stayed calm.”
The monkey said, ‘Oh dear friend, I left my heart on the tree. Let’s go back and get it.’ As soon as they reached the bank, he leapt onto the tree.”
