One day, a monkey wanted to cross a river. He saw a crocodile in the river, so he asked the crocodile to help him. The crocodile told the monkey to jump onto its back. Then, the crocodile swam down the river.
Now, the crocodile was very hungry. When the crocodile was in the middle of the river, it stopped and said to the monkey, "monkey, my father is very sick. He must eat the heart of a monkey, then he will be strong again."
The monkey thought for a while. Then, he told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank.
"What for ?" Asked the crocodile
"Because i didn't bring my heart with me," said the monkey, " i left it under the tree near some coconuts".
So the crocodile turned around and swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey off the crocodile's back and climbed up to the top of a tree.
"Where is your heart ?" Asked the crocodile.
"You are foolish," the monkey said to the crocodile, "now, i am free and you have nothing."
