00:00Once upon a time there was a clever monkey. He lived on an apple tree near a lake. The

00:15lake had beautiful surroundings. There were sweet apple trees, beautiful mountains, and

00:21green grass. A crocodile and his wife lived in the same lake. The monkey and the crocodile

00:32became friends with each other. The crocodile visited the monkey, and every day the monkey

00:41plucked apples from the tree and gave them to the crocodile for eating. The crocodile

00:49had a greedy wife. He gave the apples to her also, who ate them with a great relish. Then,

00:58one day, the wicked creature thought, the apples are so sweet. The heart of the monkey

01:06who eats such sweet apples must be much sweeter. The wife crocodile asked her husband to bring

01:15the monkey to their home. The next day, the crocodile went to the monkey and invited him

01:23for lunch at his home. The monkey was only too pleased to accept the invitation. As the

01:33monkey could not swim, the crocodile offered him a ride on his back. The monkey enjoyed the ride,

01:41but there was a blow awaiting the monkey. When they were in deep waters, the crocodile told him

01:51his purpose. Sorry, dear friend, I am not taking you home for lunch, but because my wife wants to

02:00eat your sweet heart, she says, you eat so sweet apples, so your heart must be much sweeter. I am

02:09really sorry for betraying you. The monkey was startled when this secret was revealed to him.

02:16How could his friend betray him? But soon he regained his composure and began to think how

02:25he could save his life. A clever idea struck him. He said, oh, I will give my heart with pleasure to

02:36your wife, but I have left my heart on the top of the tree. To offer my heart to your dear wife,

02:42I must bring it back, so please take me back to the tree. The crocodile believed the monkey. How

02:51could he cast a doubt on his friend, who had been so nice to him? So he took the monkey back to the

02:58bank. When they reached the bank, without losing any time, the monkey climbed up the tree. Tell

03:07your greedy wife to eat her own wicked heart. He shot back from the top of the tree. Moral of the

03:14story is, never trust your natural enemies.
