One day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their sailing ship. One of them brought his pet monkey along for the long journey.
When
they were far out at sea, a terrible storm overturned their ship. Everyone fell
into the sea, and the monkey was sure that he would drown. Suddenly a dolphin
appeared and picked him up.
They
soon reached the island and the monkey came down from the dolphin’s back. The
dolphin asked the monkey, “Do you know this place?”
The
monkey replied, “Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island is my best friend.
Do you know that I am actually a prince?”
Knowing
that no one lived on the island, the dolphin said, “Well, well, so you are a
prince! Now you can be a king!” The monkey asked, “How can I be a king?”
As the
dolphin started swimming away, he answered, “That is easy. As you are the only
creature on this island, you will naturally be the king!”
Those who lie and boast may end up in trouble.
