The Monkey and the Turtle

陸玲

A long time ago， the monkey and turtle were good friends. One day， they saw a fallen banana tree and decided to plant it. They divided the tree into two parts. The monkey took the part with the leaves， thinking that it would grow faster. The trutle took the part with the roots. They went home and planted their pieces of the tree. Many days passed， and the monkeys plant died but the turtles grew well and produced fruits. When the fruits were ripe， the turtle asked the monkey to share them with him. The monkey climbed up the tree and ate all the fruits， so the turtle got angry. He found some sharp sticks and put them round the tree. When the monkey came down， he hurt himself on the sticks. The turtle laughed and hid himself in his big shell. The monkey sat on the big shell and the turtle pulled his tail. The monkey got angry.

“Ill cut you into pieces，” said the monkey.

“Good， so there will be many turtles.”

“No， Ill put you into the fire.”

“Thats better， my skin will be red.”

“No，” said the monkey. “Ill throw you into the river.”

“No， Ill die，” said the turtle.

The monkey threw the turtle into the river， and the turtle swam away happily.
