60. THE GREAT – HEARTED MONKEY

In a forest glade, by the side of River Ganges, high on the mountains there lived about eighty thousand monkeys along with their giant monkey king. And by the side of the clear gushing water stood a tall shady mango tree with juicy mangoes.

All the monkeys just loved these mangoes and ate them off almost as soon as they had ripened. Their wise king had warned them not to let a single juicy fruit fall into the river. Because if the current carried even one of these fruits down the river to the land where the men lived, they would surely come in search of this delicious fruit and destroy the peace in the land of the monkeys.
