The Monkey and the Turtle

Once there lived friends, the monkey and the turtle. One day, they saw a banana tree floating on the water. The turtle swam out and brought it to land. Since they were, friends, they decided to divide it, cutting it in half across the middle.

“I will have the part with the leaves on,” said the monkey, thinking that the top was the best. The turtle did not have any choice but to agree because she could not do anything against the monkey. The monkey planted his top of the tree, and the turtle planted the stump. Of course the monkey’s plant just died. But the turtle’s plant grew and eventually bore a lot of fruit.
