once on the bank of the river a monkey made a home for himself in a tree laden with fruit he lived in it happily eating to his heart content the fruit of his choice

the monkey was happy but lonely and wanted a companion to talk to and share the fruit with but there was no one around not even another monkey till one day a crocodile appeared on the riverside

hello there said the monkey do you live in this river? would you like to eat some fruit ?

good morning replied the crocodile politely I did come here in search of food for myself and my wife nice of you to offer me fruit .

the monkey plucked some from the nearest branch and threw them down .
