∆ THE MONEY AND THE CROCODILE ∆


A long time ago, there was a monkey who lived in a rose-apple tree by the side of a river. He lived alone, but was very happy.

One day, a crocodile came out of the river. He swam up to the tree and told the monkey that he had travelled a long distance and was in search of food as he was very hungry. The kind monkey offered him a few rose apples. The crocodile thanked him and asked him if he could visit the monkey again. After that, the crocodile started visiting the monkey every day. They would share rose-apples and talk about everything they knew. The crocodile told the monkey that he had a wife and that they lived on the other side of the river. So the generous monkey plucked many rose-apples and gave them to the crocodile for his wife.
The crocodile’s wife loved the rose-apples, but she grew jealous of her husband spending so much time away from her, in the company of his new friend. She pretended as if she did not believe that her husband, a crocodile, could be friends with a monkey. The crocodile convinced her of his friendship with the monkey.
The crocodile’s wife thought to herself, “If the monkey eats only these sweet rose-apples, his flesh must be sweet too. He would be a delicious dinner.”

So she asked her husband to invite his friend home so that she could meet him. But the crocodile was not happy about inviting his friend home. So the wife thought of a plan. She pretended to be very ill and told the crocodile that the doctor had said that she could get well only if she ate a monkey’s heart. If her husband wanted to save her life, he must bring her his friend’s heart. The crocodile was stupid enough to believe his wife. But the thought of killing his friend made him very unhappy. He did not want to harm his friend. At the same time, he did not want his wife to die. So the crocodile went to the rose apple tree and invited the monkey home to meet his wife. The monkey was very happy and readily agreed. The crocodile told the monkey that he could ride across the river to the other bank on his back. On reaching the middle of the river, the crocodile began to sink. The frightened monkey asked him why he was doing so. “I want to kill you.” said the crocodile. “My wife is ill and she can recover only if she eats a monkey’s heart.”

The monkey was shocked and started thinking fast. He told the crocodile that he would gladly give up his heart to save the life of the crocodile’s wife, but he had left his heart behind in his tree. He requested the crocodile to turn back quickly so he could fetch his heart.

The stupid crocodile became happy when he heard that the monkey was kind enough to offer his heart without any resistance. He couldn’t believe that the monkey was willing to offer his heart without any resistance. The thought of not killing his friend while proving his love towards his wife made him happy.

The crocodile turned back and swam as fast as he could to the tree.

When they reached, the monkey climbed up the tree to safety. He looked down at the crocodile and said, “Now you can go back to your wicked wife and tell her that her husband is the biggest fool in this world. Your foolishness has no parallel. You were ready to take my life because of an unjust demand from your wife. Then you were stupid enough to believe me and brought me back to the tree.”

MORAL : A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.


∆ THE TURTLE THAT FELL OFF THE STICK ∆


Once upon a time, there lived a turtle. Her best friends were two swans. They used to talk all day long and exchange stories of their lives. One year, the rain was scarce and the lake in which the turtle lived was drying up. The swans found another lake filled with water for the turtle to live in. They decided to carry a stick in between them. The turtle would bite down on the stick and the swans would carry her to the other lake. On the day of this important event, the swans advised their friend to keep quiet or she would fall when she opened her mouth. The turtle agreed and they set off. It was quite a sight. Everyone on the ground oohed and aahed as the odd group flew past. The turtle, however, could not see what the matter was. She foolishly opened her mouth to ask her friends what the commotion was about and plummeted to her death before the swans could do anything.

MORAL : It is important to think before you speak. Sometimes it could mean the difference between life and death.

Answer:

Once two friends were walking through the forest. They knew that anything dangerous can happen to them at any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would remain united in any case of danger.

Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching them. One of the friends at once climbed a nearby tree. But the other one did not know how to climb. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man.

The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place. Because the bears do not touch the dead creatures.Now the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears?” The other friend replied, “The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”

Moral: True Friend is the one who always supports and stands by you in any situation.
