Once there were a crocodile and a monkey. They were good friends. Monkey used to give fruits to crocodile every day. The,crocodile used to give these fruits given by monkey to his wife. His wife was a crooked one. She wanted to eat the heart of the monkey. She told her husband about her wish. At first the crocodile did not accept his wife’s proposal. With her repeated requests the crocodile had to accept his wife’s wish.
One day the crocodile invited the monkey to his home for dinner. Since his burrow is on the other side of the river they had to swim across the river. The monkey did not know how to swim. So the crocodile asked the monkey to sit on his back to swim across the river. On the way the crocodile said that he was going to take out his heart. The clever monkey told the crocodile that it had put his heart on the tree. The monkey said that they would go back and bring it. Believing the monkey’s words the crocodile took the monkey back to the three. When they reached the bank the monkey jumped to the bank and climbed the tree. Thus the clever monkey saved its life from the crooked crocodile.
