The Smart Monkey And The Dull Crocodile

One day there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile so he
asked the crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agree and told
the monkey to jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on
his top.

Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river and said
to the monkey, “My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be
healthy again.”

At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he
had a good idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the
crocodile. “Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some
coconuts in the river bank.”

The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon
as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up
to the top of a tree.

“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile. “You are foolish,” said the monkey to the
crocodile. “Now I am free and I have my heart.” Finally the monkey went away laughing loudly
leaving the crocodile upset because it felt fooled by the monkey.
Monyet Pintar dan Buaya Bodoh

Suatu hari, ada seekor monyet. Ia ingin menyeberangi sungai. Di sana ia melihat buaya sehingga
ia meminta buaya untuk membawanya kesisi lain dari sungai itu. Buayapun setuju dan mengatakan
kepada monyet untuk melompat di punggungnya. Kemudian buaya berenang menyusuri sungai dengan
monyet di atas punggungnya.

Akan tetapi saat buaya itu merasa sangat lapar, ia berhenti di tengah-tengah sungai dan berkata
kepada monyet, “Ayah saya sangat sakit. Dia harus makan jantung monyet supaya bisa sehat kembali. ”

Saat itu, monyet itu ada dalam situasi yang sangat berbahaya. Ia harus berpikir keras. Kemudian
ia memiliki ide yang bagus. Iapun mengatakan kepada buaya supaya berenang kembali ke tepi sungai.
“Apa?” Tanya buaya. “Karena aku tidak membawa hati saya,” kata monyet. “Aku meninggalkannya di
bawah pohon, dekat pohon kelapa, di tepi sungai itu.”

Buayapun setuju dan berbalik, berenang kembali ke tepi sungai. Begitu sampai di tepi sungai,
monyetpun melompat dari punggung buaya. Kemudian ia naik ke atas pohon.

“Dimana hatimu?” Tanya buaya. “Dasar buaya bodoh,” kata monyet. “Sekarang saya bebas dan
tetap mempunayi jantung.”
