The Smart Monkey And The Dull Crocodile
One day there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile so he asked the
crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agree and told the monkey to
jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on his top.
Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river and said to the monkey,
“My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be healthy again.”
At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good idea.
He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile. “Because I don’t
bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the river bank.”
The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they
reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top of a
tree.
“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile. “You are foolish,” said the monkey to the crocodile. “Now I
am free and I have my heart.”

The Mouse Deer And The Tiger
One day, there was a mouse deer. He was thirsty so he wanted to drink on the river.
When the mouse deer came next to the rive, a tiger approached him and wanted to eat him. Of course
the mouse deer tried to escape, but the tiger run faster and caught him. In that dangerous situation the
mouse deer thought hard how to escape the tiger. Then he got idea and said to the tiger, “Listen! Your
mightiness and toughness are all great! But I have my own king. He has a greater strength than yours! I
am sure that nobody can match his powers!” Because the tiger felt taunted, he declared that he would
challenge the mouse deer’s king.
Next the mouse lead the tiger to the river, and said, “Now Look at the water. You will see my king”
Foolishly the tiger looked in the river and surely saw another tiger in the water. Then he growled, but
the tiger in the river imitated to growl too. Because of his too high self pride, the tiger jumped into the
water, and wanted to fight. He was believing there was another tiger in the water.
The mouse deer took that opportunity to escape. After fighting with himself in the river, the tiger
realized that he was fooled by the mouse deer.
