Once, a cap seller was going from one village to another through a jungle. He was very tired, so he decided to rest under a shady tree. He put his bag of caps beside him and soon fell asleep. There were many monkeys on that tree. They saw the bag of caps. The monkeys came down from the tree, opened the bag, and took all the caps. They climbed back up the tree and started wearing the caps, chattering happily.

When the cap seller woke up, he was shocked to see his bag empty. He looked around and then looked up. He saw the monkeys on the tree, all wearing his caps. He got an idea. He took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. The monkeys, who are known to copy humans, did the same. They all threw their caps down. The clever cap seller quickly collected all his caps, put them back in his bag, and went on his way.

This is a river. A crocodile lives in the river. There is a jamun tree on the bank of the river. A monkey lives on that jamun tree. The monkey and the crocodile became friends.

The monkey gives sweet jamuns to his friend. The crocodile gives the jamuns to his wife. She thinks that the jamuns are very sweet. The monkey eats jamuns daily. His liver must be sweeter than the jamuns. She wants to eat the monkey's liver. So, the crocodile invites the monkey for dinner at his house. The monkey sits on the crocodile's back. On the way the crocodile shares his real plan that his wife wants to kill him and eat his liver. The monkey is clever. He quickly makes a plan. He says, "Oh, I will be happy to serve it to bhabhi. But I have forgotten it on the tree. Let's go back and bring my liver." They go back to the bank. The monkey jumps up the tree and saves his life. He says to the crocodile, "Mr fool, does a liver remain separate from the body?"
