57 days agoOnce upon a time, in a big forest by the river, there lived a clever monkey who loved to eat sweet red fruits from a tall tree. Every day, he sat happily on the branches, enjoying his feast.
In the same river lived a crocodile. One day, the crocodile saw the monkey eating and thought, “Those fruits look delicious. If only I could taste them too!”
The monkey noticed the crocodile staring and said kindly,
“Friend Crocodile, don’t worry! I will throw some fruits down for you.”
From that day on, the monkey shared fruits with the crocodile. They became friends. But the crocodile’s wife was greedy. She told her husband,
“These fruits are so sweet because the monkey’s heart must be even sweeter. Bring me his heart to eat!”
The crocodile was troubled, but he agreed. He invited the monkey to ride on his back across the river, pretending to take him to another tree with even better fruits.
Halfway across, the crocodile revealed the truth:
“Monkey, my wife wants to eat your heart. I must take it to her.”
The clever monkey laughed and said,
“Oh, dear friend, you should have told me earlier! I left my heart hanging on the tree. Take me back so I can fetch it.”
The foolish crocodile believed him and swam back to the tree. The moment they reached the shore, the monkey leapt quickly onto a high branch.
He called down,
“Crocodile, you may have been strong, but I was clever. A heart cannot be taken out and left on a tree! Goodbye, my greedy friend.”
And from that day, the monkey was more careful, and the crocodile learned that greed brings nothing but shame
