Once upon a time, there was a clever monkey. He lived in an apple tree on a beautiful island. One day, a crocodile(鳄鱼) swam to the island. "I'm hungry, " he said.
So the monkey threw a red apple to the crocodile. The crocodile munched (咀嚼) and munched. The next day, the crocodile came back.
"Please, may I have two apples?" he asked. He ate one and gave one to his wife(妻子).
The crocodile went to see the monkey every day to listen to his stories and eat his apples. He wanted to be clever just like the monkey. The crocodile's wife had an idea.
"Why don't you eat his heart? Then you'll be clever, just like him!" The next day, the crocodile said to the monkey, "Come to my house! We' ll have lunch together to thank you for the apples. "
But when they arrived, the crocodile said, "Monkey! I want to eat your heart so I can be as clever as you!"
The clever monkey thought quickly and said, "It isn't here. It' s in my apple tree. "
They went back to the island. "Wait here and I will get my heart, " the monkey said.
The monkey quickly climbed the tree and sat at the top. "Oh, crocodile. You are too greedy(贪婪的). Of course you can't have my heart. And now you can't have my apples either!" The clever monkey laughed and laughed!
