The Heart of a Monkey Totally Explained

Everything about The Heart Of A Monkey totally explained

The Heart of a Monkey is a Swahili fairy tale collected by Edward Steere in Swahili Tales. Andrew Lang included it in The Lilac Fairy Book.

Synopsis

A monkey and a crocodile struck up a friendship. After a time, the crocodile said if the monkey would only come home with him, he'd give him a gift, and offered to carry him. The monkey accepted, but half way there, the crocodile told him that the sultan of his country was deathly ill and needed a monkey's heart to cure him. The monkey said it was a pity, because if he'd known, he could have brought his heart, but as it was, he'd left it behind. The crocodile, deceived, brought him back to get it. The monkey instantly jumped up into the tree and wasn't to be lured back down. He told the crocodile a story of a washerman's donkey, which was twice persuaded to meet with a lion, and so lost its life the second time — and that the monkey wasn't a washerman's donkey.
