1、-The Monkey and the Crocodile A long time ago, a monkey lived in a great fig tree on the riverbank. Life was good for him. He grew big and strong by eating the trees fruit. A lot of crocodiles lived in the river and one of them watched the monkey for a long time as he ate and slept in the tree. “Tha

2、t monkeys heart must taste so sweet from all the fruit he eats,” the crocodile thought to herself. “I want to eat it.” She turned to her husband and said, “See the big monkey up there in that tree. Bring me his heart, I want to eat it.” Her husband looked up at the monkey in the tree and then looked

3、 at his wife. “But the monkey lives high in the tree and Im here in the river. How can I catch him?” “I dont care how you do it, just bring me his heart,” yelled his wife, slapping the water angrily with her tail. Her husband knew there was no way of talking her out of something, once she had made u

4、p her mind. She wouldnt talk to him again until he brought her the monkeys heart. “Ok, Ok, calm down, Ill think of something, dearest,” he said. The crocodile thought and thought and finally came up with a plan. “I know what Ill do,” he said to himself. “Ill trick the monkey into riding on my back.”

5、 The crocodile swam closer to the tree. “Hello, Mr Monkey. How are you today?” he called out, smiling and trying to sound friendly. He wasnt too bright. When he smiled, he showed all his big teeth. “Im fine, thank you,” said the monkey, trying not to look scared as he stared down from the tree at th

6、e open mouth. “Mr Monkey, why do you only eat the fruit from that fig tree when there are so many juicy mangoes on trees on the island in the middle of the river?” asked the crocodile. “Because I cant get across the river, the water is too deep,” answered the monkey. “No problem, you can ride on my

7、back and Ill take you over there.” The monkey didnt trust the crocodile completely, but he was greedy and he wanted to taste all those juicy mangoes on the island. So he jumped down onto the crocodiles back. “Hold on tight and off we go,” said the crocodile. The crocodile had only swum a little way

8、when he dived under the water. “Why did you do that?” said the monkey, spluttering and spitting out water. “I could have drowned.” “You are going to drown,” said the crocodile. “Im going to hold you under the water and kill you. My wife wants me to bring her your heart so she can eat it.” “Ah, you s

9、hould have told me before we left,” said the monkey. “I didnt bring my heart with me. I dont keep it inside me all the time because it could get knocked to pieces from all that jumping around in the tree.Take me over to the island and after Ive eaten some mangoes, well go back to my tree and Ill get

10、 my heart for you.” “No way, monkey,” said the crocodile, Were going back for your heart first and then well see about the mangoes.” “Fair enough, youre the boss.” said the monkey. When they got back to the tree, the monkey jumped off the crocodiles back and ran up high into the tree. The monkey yel

11、led down at the crocodile, “You dumb crocodile, who ever heard of anyone keeping their heart up a tree. You may be bigger than me and have lots of sharp teeth, but youre not smarter than me. My heart is inside me, come up here and get it if you can.” The crocodile realised hed been tricked. He was sad and miserable. “How am I ever going to explain this to my wife?” the crocodile thought to himself. “She so wanted to taste that monkeys heart.” A tear fell down his cheek as he swam back to his wife. 第 4 页-
