There was a big lake in the forest. A crocodile ( 鳄鱼 ) with his wife lived in the lake. They ate fishes. By the lake stood a big tree. A monkey lived in it. He ate fruits. The monkey and the crocodile met every day and often played together.
One day, the crocodile’s wife saw the monkey and she wanted to eat the monkey’s heart. She said to her husband, “I don’t want to eat fishes in the lake any more. I think the monkey’s heart must be delicious. Go and get it for me!” The crocodile didn’t agree. But his wife added, “Don’t worry. Just bring him here and try to push him down into the water.” After thinking for a long time, the crocodile agreed.
The next day the crocodile invited the monkey to play by the lake. While they were playing, the crocodile pushed the monkey down into the water. The monkey asked the crocodile why he did that. The crocodile said, “My wife wants to eat your heart.” The monkey was shocked but he said, “I left my heart in the tree. Let’s go to take it.” The crocodile agreed. When they reached the tree, the monkey climbed up the tree quickly and said, “My heart is in my body.”
