The Jamun Tree Paradise: A monkey lived happily in the boughs of a lush jamun tree laden with sweet fruit on the bank of a river. Despite having plenty of food, he was lonely because he had no companion to converse with.
The Daily Visitor: One day, a crocodile swam ashore and rested beneath the tree. The friendly monkey welcomed him and plucked clusters of sweet, juicy jamuns, tossing them down. The crocodile enjoyed them immensely and returned every afternoon. Over months, they spent hours conversing about birds, animals, nearby villages, and the problems of farmers.
The Greed of the Crocodile's Wife: The crocodile regularly carried surplus jamun fruit home to his wife. One evening, after savoring the fruit, she declared: "If this monkey eats these sweet fruit every day, imagine how sweet and tender his heart must be! I want to eat his heart. Bring him to me at once!" The crocodile was horrified and protested, but his wife grew furious, dove into the water, and refused to eat until her demand was met.
