The Monkey and The Crocodile – Short Story for Kids
Once upon a time, there lived a monkey in a berry tree beside the river. One day a crocodile came across the river. It saw the monkey on the tree and asked for some juicy berries.
From that day onwards, they both became close friends. The Crocodile would daily come back to the monkey for berries. They both would like to have lots of fun together.
Sometimes the monkey would sit on the crocodile’s back and go around the river.
Once the crocodile asked the monkey to get him some berries for his wife. The monkey plucked some berries and gave them to the crocodile.
When his wife tasted the berries, she grew curious to taste the monkey’s heart. She asked the crocodile to invite the monkey for lunch at their place so that she could eat the monkey’s heart. The crocodile became very sad.
The next day the crocodile asked the monkey to sit on his back and started to his house. As they reached the middle of the river, the crocodile told the monkey about his wife’s plan.
The smart monkey said that he left his heart in the tree. The foolish crocodile took him back to the tree. As they came back, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back and reached the tree.
The monkey told the crocodile that he made a mistake by trusting him. The Monkey used its intelligence to save his life and the crocodile, because of its stupidity lost both, a great friend, and sweet berries.
Moral of the Story:
Quick thinking and intelligence can beat physical strength.
Staying calm and thinking can help you get out of any difficult situation.
Don’t underestimate yourself. There are bigger fools in this world.
A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
