THE MONKEY AND THE DOLPHIN
One
day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their sailing ship. One of
them
brought his pet monkey along for the long journey.
When
they were far out at sea, a terrible storm overturned their ship.
Everyone
fell into the sea, and the monkey was sure that he would drown.
Suddenly
a dolphin appeared and picked him up.
They
soon reached the island and the monkey came down from the
dolphin’s
back. The dolphin asked the monkey, “Do you know this place?”
The
monkey replied, “Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island is my best
friend.
Do you know that I am actually a prince?”
Knowing
that no one lived on the island, the dolphin said, “Well, well, so
you
are a prince! Now you can be a king!”
The
monkey asked, “How can I be a king?”
As
the dolphin started swimming away, he answered, “That is easy. As you are the
only creature on
this
island, you will naturally be the king!”
moral : Those who lie and
boast may end up in trouble.
