311. The Crocodile And The Monkey

Once upon a time, while Brahmadatta was king of Benares, the Bodhisatta came to life at the foot of Himalaya as a Monkey. He grew big, strong and sturdy. At that time there was a Crocodile living in the Ganges. The Crocodile’s mate saw the great monkey, and she was longing to eat his heart. So she said to her lord; “Sir! I desire to eat the heart of that great king of the monkeys!”
