The monkey replied, “This is juicy berries and it is very tasty. I eat most of it and I like it very much. I think you will also like it too much. Try it!” Saying this, the monkey threw some berries into the crocodile’s mouth. The crocodile started eating those berries.

“Yes, why not! I can give you even more berries.” The monkey said. The monkey broke even more berries and threw them into the crocodile’s mouth.

“Yes.” The monkey said, “I will give you a lot of berries today. You feed it to your wife. She will definitely be happy after eating it.”

The monkey broke the berries and give it to the crocodile. Crocodile took those berries into his mouth. Going to his wife, he said, “Look, I have brought these berries for you. These berries are very tasty. If you eat it, you will never forget it.”

After asking this by his wife the crocodile told to her, “The monkey, he is a good friend of me. The monkey feeds me berries daily.”

Listening about the monkey, the crocodile’s wife started thinking that if the berries are so tasty, how delicious will the heart of the monkey eating it be? Anyhow she wanted to eat the heart of a monkey. Thinking this the crocodile’s wife started planning a conspiracy in her mind.

The next day when crocodile returned, his wife said to him, “My health is very bad today and a nearby doctor has told me that I have to eat a monkey’s heart to get well. If I don’t eat it I can even die. “

The crocodile became depressed upon hearing this from his wife. He started thinking that how can he bring the heart of a monkey. Because he is a good friend of his. He must kill the monkey to bring the monkey’s heart. Thinking this, the crocodile went to the monkey. As soon as he went to the monkey he said, “My friend, the berries you gave that day. I fed it to my wife. She was very happy eating those berries and that’s why she called you to the feast today.”

“Oh wow!” The monkey said, “That is a very good thing. It has been a long time. Nobody has called for the feast yet. Let’s go.”

Saying this the monkey sat on the crocodile’s back Both of them started going to the crocodile’s wife. While they were on the way, the crocodile said to the monkey, “My wife’s health is very bad and she has to eat your heart. Only then she can recover.”

As soon as the monkey heard this he used his mind and said to the crocodile, “Hey! You should have told this thing earlier. I have put my heart on the tree. Because I don’t want it to get wet. Let us go back we have to bring it from the tree. “

“Well, let’s go and bring it from there.” The crocodile said.

As soon as the crocodile reached the shore, the monkey leaped and got away from him. He said to the crocodile, “You fool! Is someone takes his heart out and gives it to other? If I give out my heart, I will die and I think you want to kill me. Having a friend like you is better to not have a friend. Go from here, stupid. Tell your wife that she is also biggest fool.”
