THE CLEVER MONKEY

Once upon a time on a riverside, lived a monkey on a tree.The place was a paradise for him because just hopping on a stone he used to reach a small island in the middle of the river. Which was adorned by choices and juiciest of fruits?In the vicinity of the island there lived a crocodile couple and every day they used to drool at the monkey hopping in and out of the island. But the monkey was so clever that the crocodile couple never managed to lay their hands on the monkey.One day the female crocodile said Dear husband I have a plan to nab this monkey.


Husband Crocodile: Ahhh! none of our tricks has worked with this clever monkey. What brilliant idea do you have now?

The female crocodile whispered in his ears and all he could do was laugh sheepishly!

The next day when the Monkey was busy feasting on fruits on the island the crocodile very silently went and sat on the stone. When the monkey was done with eating he was about to hop on to the stone when suddenly he realized that the stone is looking bigger than usual.He understood that it was a crocodile waiting for him, he called out to the crocodile.

Monkey: Is that you Mr Crocodile?

Crocodile: No no it's not me!

And the monkey thought how dumb could the crocodile get! so he thought for a second and called out to the crocodile!

Monkey: Oh! you surely caught me this time! I'll make your job easier now! Just open your mouth and I'll jump into it on my own.

The foolish crocodile opened his wide mouth his eyes shut and waited for the monkey to jump.The clever monkey who was watching the closed eye crocodile hoped on the head of the crocodile and crossed the river.

Monkey: You couldn't fool me this time either! By clear and clever thinking the monkey managed to trick the foolish crocodile.

Moral: we must think before we do anything like that clever monkey and not like that foolish crocodile.
