THE CROCODILE AND THE MONKEY

Read the text

Once upon a time there lived a Monkey. He lived in a big tree near the river.

There were lots of crocodiles in this river. They liked to watch the Monkey, who played and jumped in the tree.

One day an old Mother Crocodile said to her son: "I want to eat that Monkey. Go and get him for me."

"But I can't do that," said her son. "I can't climb trees and the Monkey never comes down to the river." "But you must try your best to get him for me," said the old Mother Crocodile.

Suddenly the young Crocodile had an idea. He thought: "I shall ask the Monkey to go to the place where there is a lot of fruit. The Monkey likes fruit very much, and he will get down from the tree and go together with me."

So the young Crocodile swam up to the tree where the Monkey lived and said: "Monkey, do you want to go to the place where there is a lot of fruit?" "How can I go?" said the Monkey "I cannot swim." "I shall help you," said the Crocodile. "Jump on my back." The Monkey jumped on the Crocodile's back.

The Crocodile said: "You, foolish Monkey! Now I shall get you to my mother and she will eat your heart." "Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't have my heart with me - it is at home," said the Monkey. "Take me back home and I shall get my heart for your mother" The Crocodile swam back and the Monkey jumped up into the tree. She laughed loudly. So the young Crocodile swam back to his mother without the Monkey.

Some days passed. The Crocodile swam to the Monkey's home and said: "I want to eat you!" "All right," said the Monkey. "Open your mouth and I shall jump into it." But when the Crocodile opens his mouth, he closes his eyes. The Monkey knew this. So, he opened his mouth and closed his eyes. And the Monkey quickly jumped on the Crocodile's head and over to another tree. The Crocodile opened his eyes and saw the Monkey in another tree. He said: "You are a very clever monkey. After this I shall not try to get you."

"Oh, it's very kind of you," said the Monkey, "but I shall my eyes open just the same."
