The Monkey And The Crocodile

This famous moral story is from the Panchatantra. There was a monkey that lived on a berry tree on the riverbank. He ate the delicious berries every day. Once, he saw a crocodile rest under the tree who looked tired and hungry. He gave the crocodile some berries. The crocodile thanked the monkey. Soon, they became best friends. The monkey gave the crocodile berries every day. One day, the monkey gave the crocodile extra berries to take home to his wife. His wife, a wicked crocodile, enjoyed the sweet berries, but then told her husband that she wanted to eat the monkey’s heart as that would be sweeter! The crocodile was upset at first but decided to give in to his wife’s wishes. The next day, he told the monkey that his wife invited the monkey home for dinner. As the crocodile carried the monkey on his back across the river.
