The Monkey and the Turtle

bing images

A monkey , looking very sad and dejected ,was walking along the bank of the river one day when he met a turtle.

"How are you?" asked the turtle, noticing that he looked sad.

The monkey replied, "Oh, my friend, I am very hungry . The squash of Mr. Farmer were all taken by the other monkeys, and now I am about to die from want of food."

"Do not be discouraged ," said the turtle; "take a bob and follow me and we will steal some banana plants."
