猴子和鹗鱼的英语故事 不知道鹗鱼算不算是鱼The Crocodile and The Monkey
Once upon a time,a crocodile and a monkey became friends.However,the day came when the crocodile,who by nature was changeable and cunning,thought of betraying his friend.
“The King of the Crocodiles has asked me to invite you to a great feast which he is having for his daughter’s marriage,” the crocodile told the monkey.
“But,your king lives far away up the river,” answered the monkey.“As you know,I don’t know how to swim,so how do I get there?”
“That’s alright,” answered the crocodile.“I shall carry you on my back.That will be no trouble for me,since I am such a powerful swimmer.”
When they reached the middle of the river,the crocodile looked up and spoke to his friend,“I am sorry to tell you that we are not going to any wedding.The fact is that the King of Crocodiles was told that he will live to a great old age only if he eats the heart of a monkey.”
The poor monkey’s heart almost stopped beating when he heard the crocodile’s words.But the monkey was very smart,and didn’t look afraid.
“Dear friend,” he answered the crocodile,“I didn’t think I would be needed my heart on this journey,so I left it behind in that tall tree by the river bank.Let’s go back so that I can collect it and take it to your king.”
The crocodile,who wasn’t very intelligent,believed what the monkey said.So,he turned around in the middle of the river and started to swim back to the shore.As soon as they arrived at the shore,the monkey jumped off and climbed up the nearest tree,where he sat laughing loudly.
“What are you laughing at?” asked the crocodile,who was rather slow at times.
“I am laughing,” said the monkey,“at someone so foolish that he believes an animal can just take out his heart and leave it in a tree.You may have big teeth and powerful jaws,but you have a brain the size of an ant!”
And the monkey went on laughing and laughing at this escape from his former friend the crocodile.
