The Monkey's Heart
where are you?"
There was no answer.
The shark thought: "I am afraid he cannot find the heart in the branches!"
The shark waited and waited for the monkey. Then he shouted again:
"Monkey! Monkey! When will you come back to me?"
Again there was no answer. Then the monkey began to laugh.
"Do you think I am a fool?" asked the little monkey. "Do you think I want to
give my heart to your big bad chief and then die?"
"But you said your heart was in the branches of the tree," said the silly
shark.
"My heart is in its place in my body. It is always there!" shouted the
monkey. "And you go away! We are not friends anymore!"
And with those words the clever monkey threw a big rotten fruit on the
shark's nose.
