For the next week I am reading through the Jataka Tales from Myth-Folklore Unit: Jataka Tales (Ellen C. Babbitt)
The Monkey and the Crocodile:
Brahmadatta was king of Benares, the Bodhisatta, came to life at the foot of Himalaya as a Monkey
lived by the River Ganges
New crocodile fam in town..wife hungry for the monkey
husband goes to the monkey and offers a ride across the river
croc tells the monkey why his wife sent him
Monkey is smart, tricks croc by telling him that monkey hearts are not inside instead hang on trees
Croc goes back without the hear for his wife
