The Monkey King and the Mangoes

Once upon a time, there was a big and strong monkey living at the bank of a river that has an island growing seasonal fruits like mangoes. This particular island was at a distance that is between the island and the river bank. So, this monkey would use a rock as a spring to leap on this island which has the fruit that it can enjoy.

In this river too, he lives with a crocodile with his wife. One fine day, Mrs. Croc told Mr. Croc that she would like to have the heart of a monkey for lunch and no other monkey but Mr. Croc's friend- The Monkey. Mrs. Croc said that if he loves her, then he will bring her the heart of the monkey which is his best friend. Hearing this, made Mr. Croc sad. But, he loves his wife a lot; so, he agreed to urge the monkey's heart for Mrs. Croc. Children's stories

That afternoon, the monkey was enjoying the mangoes on the island when the monkey detected something looking extraordinary between the rocks within the river because it was looking larger in size than usual. So, the monkey said to itself, "Perhaps, some naughty and playful crocodile was hiding behind that rock!" to make sure, the monkey questioned the rock, "Dear rock! Why are you so quiet, today? Where are your daily hellos? Mr. Croc thought that the rock was indeed a talking rock, so he said, "Hi dear monkey, how are you feeling today?" Now, of course, the monkey knows that definitely, someone is behind it because there's no such thing as a talking rock. Monkey then shouted, "Rocks aren't alleged to be talking; so whoever you're, please show yourself."  Stories for children

Mr. Croc then showed himself and informed Monkey of his desire to eat Monkey's heart for lunch. Monkey was shocked to hear this and sad too. He couldn't believe his best friend would do such a thing. So, the monkey decided to leave the island, but how? Monkey got a thought and said, " My dear Mr. Croc, since I cannot shake you now; I might personally wish to offer you my heart. Can you please open your mouth, so that I can jump into it?" You see, the monkey is intelligent and he knew that when he opened his mouth, his eyes would close. He agreed and opened his mouth so wide until his eyes were closed tightly. Now, the wise monkey jumped on Mr. Croc's head and back on the river bank safely. When he opened his eyes, he saw a monkey safe on the river bank. He then apologized to the monkey but the monkey said that he would not anymore believe him due to his intention to kill his only best friend to satisfy his wife's desire. Sadly, he went back home to his wife, crying on the thought that he has just lost a really dear friend to him.
