\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Upon the river bank there was crocodile who was about to lay eggs. Like any other lady about to pop out a baby, the crocodile had an odd situation of cravings going on. One day, proving to be the loving husband he was, her husband made the mistake of asking her what she would like to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA monkey\u2019s heart\u201d was her reply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her husband was confused, and lost. How on earth was he to get a monkey\u2019s heart? But being the great spouse he was, he came up with a plan. First, he destroyed the bridge the monkey usually used to cross the river.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the monkey arrived at the bank, he stood confused. \u201cOh banana skins! Where on earth is the bridge?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly the kind of question the crocodile had been waiting for. \u201cHey monkey! I\u2019ll help you cross the river!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monkey was surprised at the kind request and so he agreed. He climbed onto the crocodile\u2019s back and they began to swim across the river but as they reached the middle, the crocodile confessed to the monkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really helping your cross the river. In reality my wife wants to eat a monkey\u2019s heart and I will give you over to her.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monkey was shocked, but he was a clever man. He knew what to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so grateful for your honesty, but even if you give me over to your wife, she still won\u2019t get my heart, because we don\u2019t keep it in our chest.\u201d smiled the monkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? Then where is your heart?\u201d asked the crocodile confused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe keep our hearts on the highest tops of the fig trees, safe and sound. Since you have been so honest, if you agree to not hurt me, I will quickly go and fetch my heart and toss it to you\u201d said the monkey. The poor crocodile who was a gullible creature, agreed. \u201cSounds good\u201d he said and they began to swim back to the bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they reached the bank, the monkey quickly climbed onto a tree and began to laugh. He had fooled the poor crocodile and had escaped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDarn it!\u201d snapped the crocodile, and began to swim back to his home, ready to face the wrath of his hungry wife. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
