the story of the Crocodile and monkey
Once upon a time, in a lush and vibrant jungle, there lived a wise and old crocodile named Kavi. Kavi was known far and wide for his knowledge of the jungle and the river that flowed through it. On the banks of this river lived a playful and agile monkey named Mara.
Mara loved to swing from tree to tree and chatter endlessly, making friends with all the animals in the jungle. One day, as Mara leaped from branch to branch, she noticed Kavi basking in the sun near the riverbank. Intrigued, she decided to approach the wise crocodile.
"Hello, Kavi! What brings you to the riverbank today?" Mara asked, her curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
Kavi, with a gentle smile, replied, "Greetings, Mara. I come here to soak up the warmth of the sun and watch the flow of the river. It teaches me many things about life."
Intrigued by the crocodile's words, Mara decided to spend time with Kavi, listening to his tales of the river, the jungle, and the creatures that inhabited it. As days turned into weeks, a unique friendship blossomed between the crocodile and the monkey.
One day, a drought descended upon the jungle, and the river began to dry up. The animals in the jungle grew anxious, for they depended on the river for their survival. Mara, knowing of Kavi's wisdom, approached him with a plea.
"Kavi, the river is shrinking, and the jungle is suffering. Can you help us?" Mara asked, her eyes reflecting concern.
Kavi, understanding the gravity of the situation, thought for a moment. "There is a hidden pool deep within the jungle, where water still flows. I can take you there, Mara, and together we can bring relief to our home."
Without hesitation, Kavi carried Mara on his back, and they ventured into the heart of the jungle. Through thick vegetation and over hills, they reached the hidden pool. Mara, agile and quick, gathered the other animals, and together they devised a plan to bring water from the pool back to their parched land.
The crocodile and the monkey worked side by side, each using their unique strengths to overcome challenges. Mara swung from trees, directing the animals, while Kavi used his powerful tail to create pathways for the water to flow.
As the first drops of water reached the jungle, a wave of relief swept through the animals. The once-dry land began to flourish again, thanks to the unlikely alliance between the crocodile and the monkey.
The jungle rejoiced, and the friendship between Kavi and Mara became legendary. The animals learned that by embracing each other's differences and working together, they could overcome even the most challenging times. And so, the jungle thrived once more, echoing with the laughter and chatter of its diverse inhabitants, united by the bond forged between a wise crocodile and a playful monkey.
