THE MONKEY AND THE CROCODILEOne day a little monkey was playing in a tall tree by the river. A crocodile was swimming slowly near the bank with her baby. She looked around for some food. Suddenly she saw the monkey. “Aha, there’s my meal,” she thought. She then turned to her son, “Do you love me, Son?”
“Why, of course, Mum!” the baby crocodile said.
“Well then, you catch that monkey and give me his heart to eat.”
“But how can I?” the baby crocodile asked. “Monkeys can’t swim, and I can’t climb trees.”
“You needn’t climb the tree,” his mother said. “Use your head, then you’ll find a way.”
The baby crocodile thought hard. The he had an idea. He swam near the tree and shouted, “Hey, Monkey! Would you like some bananas?”
“Bananas! Mm! I love them,” said the monkey. “But where are they?”
“On the other side of the river. There are some banana trees there, and they have lots of bananas on them. I’ll take you there on my back.”
“Good,” the monkey came down and jumped onto the crocodile’s back.
WHY THE BAT COMES OUT ONLY AT NIGHT
Long, long ago, there was a war between the birds and the beasts. No one knows what they fought about.
The bat did not know whose side he should take. He thought and thought, then decided he must try to be on the side of the winners.
So he watched from far away. After a while, it seemed that the birds were going to win. He flew over to join them.
“What on earth are you doing here?” a bird shouted at him.
“Can’t you see I’m a bird?” the bat said with a smile. “Look, I have wings, just like you.”
“Come along, then,” said the bird. “Don’t hide behind others.”
But things changed soon. Now it seemed that the beasts were winning. So the bat left the birds in a hurry and went over to the beasts.
“What are you doing on our side?” an animal called out to him. “Are you spying on us?”
“Don’t you know I’m one of you?” asked the bat, showing his teeth. “Look. Can’t you see I’ve got teeth, too?”
“Who are you trying to fool?” said the animals. “We saw you fighting on the side of the birds just now.”
So the beasts drove him off. Of course the birds refused to take him back.
When the beasts and the birds saw neither side could win, they decided to stop fighting.
Neither beasts nor birds would have the bat as their friend, so he was afraid to leave his home. Ever since then, he comes out only at night.
