Once there lived a monkey in a jamun tree by a river. The monkey was

alone - he had no friends, no family, but he was happy and content.

The jamun tree gave him plenty of sweet fruit to eat, and shade from

the sun and shelter from the rain.

One day a crocodile came swimming up the river and climbed on to

the bank to rest under the monkey's tree. 'Hello', called the monkey,

who was a friendly animal. 'Hello', replied the crocodile, surprised. 'Do

you know where I can get some food?' he asked. 'I haven't had

anything to eat all day - there just don't seem to be any fish left in the

river.'

'Well,' said the monkey, 'I don't eat fish so I wouldn't know - but I do have plenty of ripe

purple jamuns in my tree. Would you like to try some?' He threw some down to the

crocodile. The crocodile was so hungry that he ate up all the jamuns even though

crocodiles don't eat fruit. He loved the sweet tangy fruit and shyly asked whether he

could have some more. 'Of course', replied the monkey generously, throwing down

more fruit. 'Come back whenever you feel like more fruit', he added when the crocodile

had eaten his fill.

After that the crocodile would visit the monkey every day.

The two animals soon became friends - they would talk

and tell each other stories, and eat as much of the sweet

jamuns as they wanted. The monkey would throw down

all the fruit the crocodile wanted from his tree.

One day the crocodile began talking about his wife and family. 'Why didn't you tell me

earlier that you had a wife?' asked the monkey. 'Please take some of the jamuns for her

as well when you go back today.' The crocodile thanked him and took some of the fruit

for his wife.

The crocodile's wife loved the jamuns. She had never eaten anything so sweet before.

'Imagine', she said, 'how sweet would be the creature who eats these jamuns every

day. The monkey has eaten these every day of his life - his flesh would be even

sweeter than the fruit.' She asked her husband to invite the monkey for a meal - 'and

then we can eat him up' she said happily.

The crocodile was appalled - how could he eat his friend?

He tried to explain to his wife that he could not possibly

eat the monkey. 'He is my only true friend', he said. But

she would not listen - she must eat the monkey. 'Since

when do crocodiles eat fruit and spare animals?' she

asked. When the crocodile would not agree to eat the monkey, she pretended to fall

very sick. 'Only a monkey's heart can cure me', she wailed to her husband. 'If you love

me you will get your friend the monkey and let me eat his heart.'
