 The Monkey and the Turtle

Once there lived a very clever and well behaved tortoise and a selfish and clumsy
monkey. One day, both of them saw a banana tree floating in the river they decided to
get the banana tree and plant them ''Why don't we chop them in half and we will have a
part each.'' said the Monkey, ''Good Idea'' replied the tortoise so they took a part each.
The tortoise took the bottom part and the monkey took the upper part, because he
thought it would grow faster so they went home and planted their banana trees.

The next day they met again the tortoise showed that his plant had grown into a ripe
banana tree but the monkey's plant stayed the same so he got really jealous and started
to climb up the tortoise's tree. The tortoise didn't want him to climb up the tree so he put
some spikey thorns around the tree just then the monkey started to lose his grip
suddenly he fell!

When he was on the ground he saw he was bleeding and then he became angry so
he thought of a punishment to give to the Tortoise ''How dare you do you want to go to
drown in the river or you shall go to the fire.' ', shouted the monkey. ''Oh the fire please I
don't like being drowned.'' said the tortoise. ''OH REALLY'', shouted the Monkey. So he
went to the river and dropped the tortoise in the river but the tortoise could survive in the
water so he was safe the monkey was still angry with the tortoise so he jumped into the
river to get him but he couldn't swim so he drowned and he was never seen again.

around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping an old man to carry a heavy basket.
Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw the less he spoke.
As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling stories. He
heard a woman saying that an elephant jumped over a fence. He also heard a man
saying that he had never made a mistake.
The old owl had seen and heard about what happened to people. Some became
better and some became worse. But the old owl had become wiser each and every
day.
